Large figures and animals fill the panels, with polka dots running between them.

Why this piece

A narrative print at full scale - figures big enough to read as pictures, not as texture.
Genuinely hand block printed with hand-carved wooden blocks, never screen or machine printed.
Opaque - even in off white, no lining is needed to wear it.

The figure panels

This is the boldest layout in the range: panels of human figures, animals and geometric shapes in magenta, black, brown, orange and green, broken by a section of repeating polka dots and closed with a wide border of alternating patterned bands.

Off white is the ground that shows everything, which is why the colour-fast finish matters more here than anywhere else in the collection - nothing shifts onto the white on the first wash.

Silk and styling

Katan silk gives the panels a soft lustre and a graceful fall; the set weighs 600 to 650 g and stitches to 4XL with the length customisable.

Let the panels stay whole - a straight kurta with minimal seaming keeps the figures intact, and a plain bottom in any one of the accent colours steadies the whole thing. Show your tailor the panel placement before cutting.

The panels are stamped one at a time, so no two lengths carry the figures in quite the same order.
