Deep Blue & Rust Katan Silk Block Print Suit | Kinara
Plain bottom for the office, rust drape for after hours.
Sprigs, diamonds and scrollwork print matte over the deep blue.
Deep blue printed all over, a rust-orange dupatta, and a plain blue bottom.
Why this piece
- Rust-orange dupatta against a deep blue top, printed to contrast
- Small floral sprigs, diamonds and scrollwork in a matte finish
- Colour-fast, so the rust does not run onto the blue
The contrast
The top carries an all-over repeat of small floral sprigs, diamonds and scrollwork in a matte finish. The dupatta answers it in rust-orange, panelled and bordered with wide geometric bands at each end, framed by thin stripes. The bottom is left plain deep blue, which stops the set from becoming busy once it is stitched.
Styling
A plain bottom under a printed kurta is the easiest silhouette to wear to an office, and the rust dupatta is what carries it into a festive afternoon. Light green appears in flecks through the print, so a green bangle or bindi is a quiet way to pull it out. The contrast comes from separate printings by hand rather than a woven contrast, which is why this sits well below premium woven silk suit prices.

Do I need a lining under this kurta?
No. The silk is opaque, so it needs no lining or aster. Many customers add one anyway, purely to give the kurta more body and a more formal fall.
Will the rust dupatta bleed onto the blue?
No. The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash, so the two shades stay separate even where they sit together.
How do I know this is hand block printed and not machine printed?
Look at the repeats. Hand block printing leaves tiny shifts where one carved wooden block meets the next, and a little variation in how deeply the colour sits. Screen and machine printing repeat perfectly. Every metre of this set was stamped by hand in Bhagalpur, so those small differences are the proof, not a flaw.
What comes in the set, and can it be stitched for a larger size?
Three unstitched pieces: a top of 2.5 m, a bottom of 2.5 m, both 44 to 45 inches wide, and a dupatta of 2.5 m at 35 to 36 inches. That meterage lets a tailor cut it to your exact fit, up to 4XL, and the length can be customised for larger sizes.
What if I do not like the shade when it arrives?
Exchange is available if the shade or the quality is not what you loved. Screens do shift colour a little, so the fabric can read slightly warmer or cooler in daylight than it does on your phone.
