Wedding Kurta Pajama Set with Jacquard Woven Bootis All-Over
Dry clean only. Store folded in a soft muslin pouch away from direct sunlight to keep the sheen alive.
Description
Some celebrations ask for cloth that already knows how to celebrate. This kurta pajama set is woven in art silk carrying a jacquard-woven booti motif distributed across the full breadth of the fabric, each small repeat catching light with the quiet confidence of a brocade tradition that stretches across generations of Indian textile craft. The jacquard loom, long associated with the workshops of Varanasi and the figured-weave lineages of Gujarat, allows the booti to be built directly into the structure of the cloth rather than applied as an afterthought, giving the surface a depth that plain embroidery rarely achieves. Art silk renders this language of pattern with a luminous drape, making it a considered choice for those who want the visual weight of ceremony without the heaviness of pure silk. The set is offered in Ruby Wine, a colour rooted in the festive palette of North Indian weddings, and Surf The Web, a saturated blue that speaks to more contemporary bridal aesthetics. Wear it with pointed mojris in tan leather and a single strand of pearls to let the weave remain the conversation.

Behind this piece
The buti, a teardrop-shaped motif rooted in the paisley traditions of Kashmir and later adopted by the looms of Banaras and Surat, has adorned ceremonial fabric for centuries. Here, it is rendered through jacquard weaving, a technique that programs the loom itself to raise and lower individual warp threads, creating a self-textured pattern integral to the cloth. On art silk, the buti catches light with a lustrous shimmer that recalls the heavier silks of royal courts, making this language of repetition feel both ancient and precisely suited to the theatre of a wedding.
How to style
For a daytime mehendi or haldi gathering, choose Antelope and layer a printed dupatta in warm ivory over one shoulder. At an evening reception, Ruby Wine paired with kolhapuri mojris in antique gold reads as quietly confident. Blue Coral or Surf The Web work beautifully for a cocktail sangeet: add a slim Kundan brooch at the collar and leather juttis with subtle embroidery. Tinsel, the most luminous of the five colourways, suits a winter baraat well and asks only for a simple silk stole and pointed-toe nagra footwear in champagne.
Fabric & care
Art silk is a cellulosic or synthetic filament yarn that mimics the drape of natural silk but requires careful handling. Dry-clean this set after every festive occasion to preserve the jacquard weave structure and the sheen of the surface. If hand-washing is necessary, use cold water and a mild, ph-neutral detergent; never wring or twist the fabric. Dry flat in shade to prevent colour migration. Store folded in a breathable cotton muslin bag, away from direct light and moisture. Avoid prolonged contact with perfume or deodorant, as these can weaken the fibre over time.
