Ruhika Blockprinted Pure Cotton Co-Ord Set Indigo

What is the motif on the Ruhika set?

It is a small cream leaf buti, set at even intervals across an indigo ground on both the kurti and the bottom. The small scale keeps the look neat and orderly, and the cream picks up light nicely against the deep blue without any shine.

Is it formal enough for the office?

The indigo and cream combination is calm and composed, and the small buti reads almost like a texture from a distance. Matched top and bottom also look put together. Add a plain stole or a structured bag and it holds its own in most workplaces.

Who printed it?

It is hand block printed in Bagru by Pramod. Artisans there carve wooden blocks and stamp each motif onto the cotton by hand. Small variations in spacing or depth of colour are part of the craft, and each piece has its own character.

Does it come stitched, and in which sizes?

Yes, it comes stitched as a kurti and bottom set, in sizes 36 to 46. The kurti is 32 inches long, the bottom 38 inches, and the sleeves 17 inches, so it is ready to wear straight out of the package.

How do I care for the indigo?

Handwash gently with a mild detergent, separately from other clothes, and dry in the shade. Indigo is known to shed a little colour in early washes, so keep it away from lighter garments. Avoiding harsh sun while drying keeps the blue rich.

What can I add for a dressier look?

A plain white or cream mulmul dupatta keeps the set light, while a rust or mustard one brings in warmth against the indigo. Silver jhumkas and kolhapuris or juttis finish it in a traditional direction; white sneakers keep it casual.
