A single sari takes months and sells for lakhs. There are only a handful of families left who do it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThis is a print of that pattern.\u003c\/strong\u003e The geometry is the same; the method is not, and neither is the price. We would rather tell you that than let the word do work it hasn't earned.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eArt silk, said plainly\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArt silk is a man-made fibre. It is not silk and we do not sell it as silk.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt takes strong colour well, which is exactly what a patola print needs — the geometry depends on sharp contrast between colours, and art silk holds that sharpness. It is not, however, a breathable fabric, whatever it gets sold as.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eRoyal blue with purple\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo deep colours side by side rather than a colour against a neutral. The purple bottom keeps the royal blue from reading as a single block, and both hold their depth under artificial light — which makes this the better of our two patola suits for an evening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur teal blue version is the quieter one, with a tonal contrast rather than a second colour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eThe dupatta is full-width\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePrinted across its whole width rather than bordered, so the patola geometry reads properly when it is draped. A narrow printed border would lose the pattern entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho this suit is for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFestive occasions — a family function, a puja, an evening gathering. Patola geometry is traditional and recognisable, so it reads as a considered choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot the one if you want a quiet suit, or if you need it for heat.\u003c\/strong\u003e This is bold colour in a fabric that does not breathe. For hot weather our cottons and linens are the honest answer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eStitching\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStitching is a separate service, charged on top of the fabric price. Message us with what you need and we will confirm the cost and the timeline.

Iron on a low setting from the reverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eDelivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReady stock, dispatched within 48 working hours.

Real patola is double ikat woven in Patan, Gujarat, where the pattern is dyed into the threads before weaving — it takes months per piece and costs lakhs. This carries the same geometry as a print.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this silk?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. It is art silk, a man-made fibre. We do not describe it as silk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat colours is it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoyal blue with a purple contrast bottom, and a full-width patola print dupatta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does this compare to your teal blue patola suit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSame print and price. This one pairs royal blue with a purple bottom, so it has more contrast; the teal blue version is tonal and quieter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the dupatta bordered or fully printed?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully printed, across its whole width, so the patola geometry reads properly when draped.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I wash this at home?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Dry clean only — art silk loses its finish and the colours can bleed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this good for summer?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot especially. Art silk does not breathe. For heat, our cotton and linen suits are the better choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much fabric is included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2.5 metres each for the shirt, bottom and dupatta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this suit stitched?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, it is unstitched — three fabric pieces. Stitching is available from us as a separate paid service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the largest size it can be stitched to?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5XL.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs shipping free on this suit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Free shipping starts at ₹3,000 prepaid and this suit is ₹2,050, so shipping is calculated at checkout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIs Cash on Delivery available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, at a flat ₹150 charge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I return it if I change my mind?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. We do not accept returns for change of mind.
