Purple Block Print Cotton Dress Material

Purple is the most underrated colour in Indian ethnic wear, and this set is the argument for it.

It carries the warmth of red and the depth of blue at once, which is why it flatters more skin tones than either does alone. Hand block printed on pure cotton and supplied unstitched as top, dupatta and bottom — 7.5 metres for your tailor to work with.

Pair with silver. Purple and oxidised silver is one of those combinations that always looks more expensive than it was.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this stitched or unstitched?
Unstitched. Top, dupatta and bottom arrive as separate fabric pieces so your tailor can cut them to your exact measurements.

How do I wash it?
Cold hand wash separately. Purple is the most light-sensitive of the dyed cottons — never dry it in direct sun and it will hold its depth for years.

Will the colour look exactly like the photo?
We photograph in natural daylight with no filters, but every screen renders colour differently. Call or WhatsApp +91 72045 92943 and we will show you the actual piece on video before you order.

Is only one piece available?
We buy in small lots, so most designs are one of a kind. Once a piece sells it rarely returns in the same colour.

How do I pay and where do you ship?
All orders are prepaid through a secure gateway — we do not offer cash on delivery. We ship across India and internationally from our Abids store in Hyderabad.

What if the piece has a problem?
Tell us within the exchange window and we will replace it. Slubs and small irregularities in hand-printed cloth are marks of the craft, not defects.
