Aavya Pure Mul Cotton Wax Batik Suit Night Blue (T+B+D)

How does the circle-and-star lattice look on this design?

On a deep, cool ground, the dense white circles and stars stand out crisply, giving a polished, almost starry effect. It reads quiet enough for the office while still showing clear handcrafted detail up close.

What is on the bottom?

Scattered paisley sprigs, lighter and more spacious than the lattice on the top. The switch in motif breaks up the outfit nicely, and the dupatta carries the lattice along its hem, with plain ends, to pull it together.

Should I line the kurta?

It is optional. Mul is a soft, light, fine cotton. Many people add a thin cotton lining for comfort and coverage, especially for workwear, or simply wear a slip underneath. Keep the lining light so the kurta stays airy.

Who makes it, and how?

It is handcrafted at the Indiehaat unit in Kota under master artisan Haq Nawaz. The pattern is drawn in hot wax by hand, the cloth is dyed, and the wax is then removed, leaving the white motifs with their small natural variations.

How should I wash a deep-toned batik?

Hand wash gently in cold water with a mild detergent, on its own. Skip soaking and wringing, and dry in shade, since sunlight fades deep hand-dyed colours over time. Iron on low heat, preferably inside out.
