Soft grey flowers repeat across a bright pink ground, block by block.

Grey on pink is the rare combination that makes a vivid shade wearable to work.
Colour-fast - the grey stays grey and does not muddy the pink in the wash.
A wide dark-grey printed band closes one end of the length, ready to place as a hem or yoke.

The print

The floral motif is small and evenly repeated, so from a step away the set reads as a soft textured pink rather than a busy print. Up close the grey outlines show the block edges clearly. One end of the length carries a broad dark-grey patterned band, which a good tailor can position as a kurta hem, a sleeve edge or a yoke rather than cutting through it.

Wearing it

Bright enough for a festive lunch, quiet enough for the office - pair it with grey or silver jewellery and keep the bottom plain so the band stays the focus. The combination of katan silk, real hand block work and Bhagalpur origin is close to unavailable elsewhere at this price. Block printed by hand, and still dispatched the next working day.
