Olive green prints run across a deep blue silk, closed with chevron bands.
- Chevron edge bands on both the top and the dupatta
- Separate floral leaf border printed at the base of the bottom piece
- Colour-fast, opaque, and light enough to wear all day
The print
Olive on blue is a restrained pairing, and the density is high enough that the two colours read as a single deeper shade from across a room. Up close the floral repeat separates out.
Every edge is worked: chevron strips along the top and dupatta, and a different floral leaf band at the base of the bottom, so the three pieces finish as a set rather than three lengths.
Wearing it
This is the most formal colourway here. Stitch it straight, keep the sleeves long, and pair it with gold. It carries an office day, a festive evening and a daytime wedding without changing anything but the jewellery.
The reason to take this over a woven-border suit piece is the craft: the chevron and the leaf band are hand-stamped from carved wooden blocks, not machine woven in.

Small shifts in the print, a motif set a little off its neighbour, a shade that deepens where the block pressed twice: these are the marks of a hand at work, not flaws in the cloth.
