What is the print on the Avi Roop top?
A curved lattice in terracotta tones runs across a cream ground, with small flowers tucked into each opening. The lines are soft and rounded rather than sharp, which gives the top a gentle, old-world feel. It is a medium-scale repeat, visible from across a room without looking loud.
What makes the dupatta stand out?
The dupatta stays light and quiet in the body, then finishes in floral borders in a cool blue-grey. That cooler border sets off the warm terracotta of the top, so when you drape it over a shoulder, the two tones balance each other instead of blending into one.
What exactly will I receive?
Three unstitched pieces in pure cotton Kota Doria: top fabric of 2.4β2.5 m, bottom fabric of 2.4β2.5 m and a dupatta of 2.3β2.4 m. Nothing is pre-cut, so the kurta and bottom can be tailored to your size and preferred style.
Should I get the kurta lined?
A lining is not part of the set, which contains only the top, bottom and dupatta fabric. Kota Doria is a fine, airy weave, so many people ask their tailor to add a soft cotton lining for extra coverage and a smoother fall. It comes down to personal preference.
How do I keep the colours fresh in the wash?
Hand block printed fabric needs gentle care, so always wash it on its own. Use cold water and a mild detergent, don't leave it soaking, and dry it in the shade so the terracotta and blue-grey stay fresh.
Who prints this suit?
It is hand block printed at the Indiehaat unit in Kota under master artisan Haq Nawaz. Every motif is stamped with a hand-carved wooden block, so you may notice small shifts in alignment or depth of colour. Those come from the hand process, and no two pieces are exactly alike.
