White florals print sharp against black silk, with nothing else in the palette.

Why this piece

  • Two colours only: white on black, at high contrast
  • Dense all-over floral repeat across the whole length
  • Colour-fast, so the white stays white after washing

The print

There are no accent shades in this one. A black ground, a white botanical repeat, and enough density that the cloth reads mid-grey from across a room and resolves into flowers as you get closer.

High contrast is the least forgiving thing to print by hand: every edge of every impression is visible.

Wearing it

Black is the one shade that carries from an office morning to an evening function without any change of register. Stitch it straight and long, and wear it with either silver or oxidised pieces; gold fights the white.

Black suit fabric is easy to find. Black suit fabric that is silk and genuinely hand block printed is not, and that is what this is.

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, opaque, no lining needed
  • Craft: hand block printed with hand-carved wooden blocks in Bhagalpur
  • Weight: 600 to 650 g for top, bottom and dupatta together
  • Stitching: stitched to your fit up to 4XL, length customisable
  • Care: dry clean the first time, then a gentle cold hand wash
  • Dispatch: Dispatched the next working day.
  • Collection: Bagiya

Small shifts in the print, a motif set a little off its neighbour, a shade that deepens where the block pressed twice: these are the marks of a hand at work, not flaws in the cloth.
