Bind & Bloom Kota Cotton Suit Material (T+D) Deep Red

What is a Jugnu check?

Jugnu means firefly. The Kota cotton has a check pattern accented with fine gold lines, so the fabric glints softly like fireflies. On this set, the gold grid checks run across both the top fabric and the dupatta.

What does the gota work look like?

A gota vine yoke with green thread florets frames the neckline of the red kurta, and the dupatta border repeats the gota vine with green florets. Every piece is finished by hand, so tiny differences between pieces are part of its character.

What is in the set?

Unstitched top and dupatta fabric, each 2.4 to 2.5 metres. A bottom is not included. Take all the pieces to your tailor together so the yoke placement is planned first.

How should I clean it?

Dry clean is preferred. If washing at home, hand wash gently with a mild detergent, separately, and dry it in the shade. Store it folded with a soft cloth over the gota so it does not snag.

Which occasions does it suit?

It suits festive days, evening dinners, office parties and kitty or brunch gatherings. The red checks and gota give it a celebratory look, while the Kota cotton stays lightweight and breathable. It is handcrafted at the Indiehaat unit in Kota under master artisan Haq Nawaz.
