Olive Green Katan Silk Suit, White Vine & Paisley | Kairi
Dense top, open drape, printed to layer without clashing.
Chevron bands close the hem beneath the white vine-and-paisley.
Olive green under a white vine-and-paisley print, chevrons at the hem.
Why this piece
- Genuinely hand block printed with hand-carved wooden blocks in Bhagalpur
- The top is printed densely and the dupatta more openly, so they layer well
- Opaque and unlined, stitchable up to 4XL with customised length
Vines and chevrons
A white vine winds through medium-scale paisley across an olive green ground, with yellow and terracotta warming the print where it opens up. The top length is printed densely; the dupatta is left more open, so wearing them together does not overwhelm.
At the hem, a solid horizontal band carries a repeating chevron, which gives a plain straight kurta a defined edge with no work from your tailor.
Wearing it
Olive with white is the most wearable version of a bold print - it holds up in an office, at a festive lunch and at a day function. Terracotta or wooden jewellery picks up the accents; gold works too. Have the chevron band placed at the hem rather than cut across.
Vine-and-paisley work in two scales, printed by hand on silk, is unusual at this price - the combination is normally found on cotton or on much costlier woven sets.

The vine does not join perfectly from one repeat to the next. That break is where one block ended and the next began, by hand.

Are the top and dupatta printed alike?
No. The top is printed densely with a white vine winding through medium-scale paisley, while the dupatta is left more open with a lighter white leaf print, so wearing them together does not overwhelm.
Which colours warm the olive?
Yellow and terracotta warm the print where it opens up, alongside the white vine. The yellow paisleys are what catch the eye first against the dark green, so the set reads brighter than plain olive might suggest.
What is the band at the hem?
A solid horizontal band carrying a repeating chevron. It gives a plain straight kurta a defined edge with no work from your tailor, so have it placed at the hem rather than cut across.
What jewellery suits it?
Terracotta or wooden jewellery picks up the warm accents, and gold works too. Olive with white is the most wearable version of a bold print, so it does not need much help from accessories.
Why doesn't the vine join perfectly?
A winding vine is one of the hardest things to block print, because the eye follows the line. Where one block ended and the next began, the vine shows a small break. That is the honest signature of the process.
Will the white vine discolour?
No. The fabric is colour-fast and the olive does not bleed on the first wash, so the white vine and yellow paisleys stay clean. Dry clean it first, then a gentle cold hand wash.
