Charcoal Grey & Olive Katan Silk Suit, Tassel Dupatta | Kairi
Charcoal and olive, with the tassels already attached.
Register shifts across the paisley are the mark of hand-blocking.
Charcoal grey and olive, floral paisley, a tasselled dupatta edge.
Why this piece
- Colour-fast, with no bleed on the first wash even from the darker grey
- Tassels finish the dupatta, so nothing needs adding after stitching
- Genuinely hand block printed with hand-carved wooden blocks, never screened
The muted palette
This is the quietest set in the range. Dark charcoal grey and olive green hold the ground, a floral paisley runs all over in a small scale, and peach and pale yellow warm it just enough to keep it from going severe.
A geometric triangular motif finishes the horizontal ends, and the dupatta carries tassels along its edge. Everything about it is restrained, which is precisely why it wears so easily.
Wearing it
Muted earth tones are the easiest thing to wear to work, and this one takes a black or oxidised silver jewellery line beautifully. It is also the set to buy if you find most block prints too loud for daily wear. A charcoal or peach inner both work.
Matte, muted block printing usually lives in cotton. Done on Katan silk it keeps the softness of the palette but gains the sheen and drape, which is a combination the market rarely offers.

The florals sit a little tighter in some rows than others. That is the block being placed by hand down the length of the table, and it is the sign of real hand work.

Is charcoal and olive too sombre?
It is the quietest set in the range, but not severe. A small floral paisley runs all over, and peach and pale yellow warm it just enough. If you find most block prints too loud for the office, this is the one to choose.
How are the three pieces coloured?
The top is charcoal grey printed all over with small floral vines and paisley in orange-peach and olive. The bottom is a plain olive, and the dupatta carries the paisley print with a cream zigzag band at its panel edge and tassels along the ends.
Do the tassels come attached?
Yes. The tassels are attached by hand at the dupatta ends once printing is done, so nothing needs adding after stitching. A geometric triangular motif finishes the horizontal ends just above them, so the dupatta arrives fully finished.
What jewellery and inner work with it?
Black or oxidised silver jewellery suits these muted tones beautifully. Both a charcoal and a peach inner work, depending on whether you want the outfit to read darker or warmer.
What does silk add to such a muted palette?
Matte, muted block printing usually lives in cotton. On katan silk the charcoal and olive keep their softness but gain a gentle sheen and a better drape, so the quiet palette looks considered rather than dull.
Will the dark grey bleed onto the lighter tones?
No. The fabric is colour-fast with no bleed on the first wash, even from the darker grey, so the peach and pale yellow stay clean. Dry clean it the first time, then a gentle cold hand wash.
