Deep Green Buta Block Print Katan Silk Suit | Phuhaar
A matte deep green, far easier to wear than a bright one.
Patterned panels wait at one end, ready to place as a border.
Tiny pink and ivory butas repeat across a deep forest green.
Why this piece
- A matte, deep green base - unusual on printed silk, and far easier to wear than a bright one.
- Colour-fast, so the pink butas keep their edge against the dark ground.
- Patterned panels sit at one end of the length, ready to place as a border.
The buta
The buta is the small upright floral form that carries most Indian block printing, and here it is kept deliberately tiny and evenly spaced. Against a green this deep, the pink and ivory read almost like fine embroidery from a distance, which is what gives the set its weight beyond its price.
Wearing it
Dark green takes evening light beautifully, so this one moves from an office day to a festive dinner without changing anything but the jewellery - gold for evening, oxidised silver for day. The patterned panels at one end are best placed as a hem or yoke rather than cut through. Genuine hand block work on katan silk is a combination the market largely leaves to cotton. Block printed by hand, and still dispatched the next working day.

On a dark ground the small irregularities show most clearly - a buta slightly fuller here, slightly finer there. That is the hand, not a fault.

Printing a pale buta onto a dark green ground is the demanding end of this craft: the colour has to sit on top of the fabric cleanly, and one heavy press spreads it. In Bhagalpur the printer works with a light, practised touch, lifting the wooden block away almost as soon as it lands. It is slow work, and a single top holds hundreds of those small decisions.

What exactly is a buta?
A buta is the small upright floral form behind most Indian block printing. Here it is kept tiny and evenly spaced in pink and ivory, so against a green this deep it reads almost like fine embroidery from a distance.
Is the green shiny or matte?
Matte. A deep forest green with a matte finish is unusual on printed silk, and it is much easier to wear than a bright green. It keeps the set grounded, and the small butas catch the eye instead of the fabric.
Can it go from the office to an evening out?
Yes, and that is its strength. Wear it to the office with oxidised silver, then switch to gold for a festive dinner or an evening out, since dark green takes evening light beautifully. It also suits a kitty lunch or brunch.
What should my tailor do with the patterned panels at one end?
Place them rather than cut through them. Show your tailor the full length first; most will use those panels as the kurta hem or yoke, so they read as a deliberate border on the finished suit.
Will the pale butas spread or bleed?
No. The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash. The printer uses a light touch, lifting the block almost as soon as it lands, so the pale colour sits cleanly on the dark ground. Dry clean first, then a cold hand wash.
Is there fabric for a fuller fit?
Yes. Each piece is 2.5 metres, with the top and bottom 44-45 inches wide, which is enough for a straight kurta set up to 4XL. The length can be customised.
