Terracotta botanicals run across lime green, close-set and hand-stamped.

Why this piece

  • An unusual pairing - earthy terracotta against a sharp, fresh lime rather than the usual tonal green.
  • Colour-fast: the terracotta does not run into the lime on the first wash.
  • A full three-piece set at 2.5 metres per piece, tailorable up to 4XL.

The colour

Lime green is a difficult shade to print on, because most contrast colours turn it acidic. Terracotta does the opposite - it warms the green down and gives the set a hand-dyed, earthy feel that photographs far better than it sounds.

The dupatta

The dupatta carries the botanical repeat at a slightly more open spacing, closed by a rectangular border motif and a short fringed edge. Leave it plain over a solid lime kurta for office, or stitch the bottom in the terracotta tone for a sharper festive look. Genuine hand block work on katan silk sits in a gap the market largely leaves empty, since this craft is usually reserved for cotton. Block printed by hand, and still dispatched the next working day.

The details

  • Top: 2.5 m, 44-45 inches wide
  • Bottom: 2.5 m, 44-45 inches wide

Where two blocks meet, the terracotta sometimes overlaps by a whisker. That small join is the artisan hand at work, not a flaw in the fabric.
