Noble Echo Pure Cotton Blockprint Short Kurta Bold Red

What are the motifs on this kurta?

Rows of flower-and-leaf buti in cream and tan sit on a brick-red ground. Each motif pairs a small bloom with leaves, and the two-tone printing gives them a little depth. The look is earthy and traditional, with plenty of the warm ground showing between motifs.

What goes well with the brick-red tone?

Brick red is an earthy, warm shade. Cream, beige and tan bottoms echo the motifs, while indigo or blue denim gives a classic contrast. An olive, mustard or off-white dupatta and oxidised or antique-gold jewellery suit it nicely.

What is the size range?

It comes in sizes 38 to 46, with a length of 27 to 28 inches and full sleeves. As a short kurta, it pairs easily with jeans, cigarette pants or palazzos.

Should I wash it separately?

Yes. Wash it on its own by hand in cold water with a mild detergent. Avoid soaking, dry it in the shade to keep the colour even, and iron on low heat from the reverse side so the cream and tan motifs stay crisp.

Why is the print slightly uneven in places?

Every motif is pressed by hand with a wooden block, so there can be small differences in alignment between the cream and tan, or slight variation in ink depth. These are signs of hand block printing, not flaws.

What will I receive?

The package has one short kurta, without bottoms or a dupatta. It's designed to be mixed with what you already wear, from trousers for work to denim on weekends or a cream palazzo for something dressier.
