Avi Roop Blockprint Pure Kota Doria Suit (T+B+D) Coral Red

What kind of print does the Avi Roop top have?

A leaf-and-paisley jaal covers the top in coral red, with the motifs interlocking so there is very little empty ground. It is a medium-scale repeat with a warm, lively feel, and the hand block printing gives each leaf a slightly soft edge rather than a hard machine outline.

How do the colours of the three pieces work together?

They sit in one warm family: coral red on the top, orange on the bottom and peach on the dupatta. The green vine border on the dupatta is the one cool note, and it lifts the whole look. Gold or oxidised jewellery both suit this palette.

Where would this suit look right?

It leans festive first, with its warm, layered colours. It also works for a kitty party or brunch, holds its own at the office, and carries into an evening dinner when you pair it with a bit more jewellery.

How long is the dupatta and how does it drape?

The dupatta measures 2.3–2.4 m in pure cotton Kota Doria. Being light and crisp, it sits well folded over one shoulder or pinned in neat pleats, and it drapes without weight or heaviness. A couple of pins keep it in place through the day.

How should I wash a hand block print?

Wash this set separately every time. A dry clean for the first wash is a good idea; after that, hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent, avoid soaking or wringing, and dry it in the shade so the colours stay bright.

Where is it made?

It is printed at the Indiehaat unit in Kota, under master artisan Haq Nawaz. Kota is the home of Kota Doria, and the blocks are stamped by hand, so slight variations in spacing or tone are part of every piece.
