Grey Katan Silk Suit with Pink Print Border | Kinara
Grey for the work week; the pink border takes it to dinner.
Wide floral bands print over a geometric grid at the edges.
A quiet grey silk set, edged in pink and white printed borders.
Why this piece
- Grey base kept sparse, with the pattern saved for the borders
- Wide bands of intricate floral edging over a geometric grid
- Colour-fast, so the pink stays off the grey in the wash
The borders
The grey body is printed only lightly, with medium floral motifs placed here and there. Everything else is concentrated into the borders: a wide continuous band with an intricate floral edge running above a geometric grid, in pink against white. It is a restrained set that reads formal from a distance and detailed up close.
Styling
Grey is the shade that survives a whole working week, and the pink border is enough to take it to an evening dinner without changing anything but the jewellery. Silver suits the grey; rose gold picks up the border. Ask your tailor to run the border along the kurta hem and the sleeve edge, and keep the rest plain.

Where does the pattern sit on this suit?
Mostly in the borders. The grey body is printed lightly, with medium floral motifs placed here and there. The rest is concentrated into a wide continuous band, an intricate floral edge running above a geometric grid, in pink against white.
Can a grey suit work beyond the office?
Yes. Grey is the shade that survives a whole working week, so office comes first. The pink border is enough to take it to an evening dinner or a kitty brunch, and festive occasions too, with rose gold instead of silver.
How should my tailor use the border?
Run it along the kurta hem and the sleeve edge, and keep the rest of the kurta plain. That way the restrained grey reads formal from a distance and detailed up close.
Will the border be dead straight?
Very nearly, but not machine-straight. The artisan sets the carved block down again and again in a line, matching each impression to the last by eye, so the floral edging shifts very slightly along its length.
Will the pink bleed onto the grey?
No. The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash, which keeps the pale grey ground clean under a pink border. Have it dry cleaned the first time, then a gentle cold hand wash is enough.
Is it enough fabric for a fuller size?
Yes. Each piece is 2.5 m long, with the top and bottom 44 to 45 inches wide, so the set can be stitched up to 4XL with the length customised for larger sizes.
