Yellow & Blue Colour-Block Katan Silk Suit | Kairi
Two contrasting prints: one suit, two different looks.
Paisley crosses the yellow-blue block, stamped by hand in Bhagalpur.
Yellow on one side, blue on the other, paisley crossing the colour block.
Why this piece
- Opaque on its own - a lining is optional here, never necessary
- Two contrasting prints in one set, so a single suit gives you two looks
- Genuinely hand block printed with hand-carved wooden blocks in Bhagalpur
The colour block
Yellow and blue are set against each other in panels, each carrying its own small paisley and abstract botanical print, with green appearing where the two need a bridge. Linear bands of pattern run along the hem and edges and hold the whole arrangement together.
Because the two halves are printed differently, you can stitch it to lead with either colour - a yellow kurta with blue detailing, or the reverse. Decide before your tailor cuts.
Wearing it
This is a daylight set: brunches, office festival days, haldi mornings. It is bright without being heavy, and it needs almost no jewellery - a thin gold chain and studs will do. Keep footwear neutral and let the two colours run the outfit.
True colour-blocked hand block printing is rare, because it doubles the work of aligning blocks. Most sets at this price take the easier route of one ground colour.
The set
Top: 2.5 m, 44 to 45 inches wide
Bottom: 2.5 m, 44 to 45 inches wide
Dupatta: 2.5 m, 35 to 36 inches wide
Fabric: Katan silk, hand block printed with hand-carved wooden blocks
Lining: not required, the fabric is opaque; add one only to elevate the look
Stitching: up to 4XL for straight kurta sets, with length customised for larger sizes
Weight: 600 to 650 g for top, bottom and dupatta together
Care: dry clean the first time, then a gentle cold hand wash
Dispatch: dispatched the next working day, even though every metre is printed by hand
Collection: Kairi
The blocks meet the colour break slightly differently along the length. That is hand work, and it is the difference between a printed cloth and a manufactured one.

Can I lead with either colour?
Yes. The yellow and blue halves are printed differently, so you can stitch a yellow kurta with blue detailing, or the reverse. Decide before your tailor cuts, because that choice sets the whole look.
How do the two halves differ?
Each panel carries its own print: small paisley on one, abstract botanical shapes on the other, with green appearing where the two need a bridge. Linear bands along the hem and edges hold the arrangement together.
How much jewellery does it need?
Almost none. A thin gold chain and studs will do. Keep footwear neutral and let the strong yellow and blue run the outfit, since any more colour would crowd it.
Why is colour-blocked block printing rare?
It doubles the work. Each side needs its own carved block and its own colour, and both have to meet at the join looking intentional. The artisans work one colour across the length, wait, then come back with the next; the hem bands go on last, aligned by eye.
Will the yellow and blue bleed into each other?
No. The fabric is colour-fast and does not bleed on the first wash, so the yellow stays clean beside the blue. Dry clean the set the first time, then a gentle cold hand wash.
Does it need a lining?
No. The katan silk is opaque on its own, so a lining is optional and never necessary. Add one only if you want to lift the look; otherwise the set can go straight to your tailor for stitching, up to 4XL.
