I’ve always believed that the little surprises in clothing are what make you fall for a piece not just the colour or the cut, but the feel, the way it moves, the moments when you think, this was worth it. Recently, I got my hands on the Sana x Rozaana A-Line Kurta in Oyster Grey with Thread Work from Binks, and over the past few weeks, I’ve been wearing it enough to form a pretty clear picture: what works, what doesn’t, and whether it deserves space in anyone’s wardrobe.
First Impressions: The Look & Feel
The first thing I noticed was the colour: oyster grey. It’s soft and muted, not striking but beautifully understated. In the morning light, it almost looks a pale silver; in artificial light it leans more grey. That versatility is a plus. The kurta comes sleeveless, with a jewel neck, and features delicate thread work along the front.
Fabric, Fit & Comfort
The fabric is an 80% viscose, 20% polyester blend. On wearing it, the viscose shows as it feels breathable and soft against skin. The polyester adds just enough structure so the kurta doesn’t lose shape after a wash. I tried washing on a gentle machine cycle (cold), and so far the thread work hasn’t frayed. There’s no padding, which I liked as it gives a cleaner, more natural silhouette.
Sizing options are generous: standard sizes from XS to 3XL, plus a custom-size option (for a fee). I ordered my usual size, and the fit was close to what I expected, armholes were good (no gaping), the length was just right for casual workdays. For those taller/shorter, the custom option might be worth considering.
Practicality & Wearability
If you’re wondering, “Can I wear this daily or to work?”—the answer is yes, with a few caveats. The colour is forgiving (doesn’t show stains easily), and since it’s machine-washable, the care routine is simple. However, delicate thread work means I avoid harsh detergents and rough surfaces (no rubbing against rough bags etc.).
What Could Be Better
For me, I noticed that the lining, although soft, makes the kurta slightly warmer than a 100% viscose piece would be, especially midday.
My Take: Is It Worth It?
After a couple of weeks, wearing it for errands, work meetings & casual outings, I find this A-line kurta to be a strong choice if you want something elegant yet low-maintenance. It strikes a balance: enough detail to feel special, but not so much that it becomes fussy. In terms of price and quality, for those who take care of their clothes, it’s a good buy. If you’re building a capsule wardrobe of kurtas, this one deserves consideration.
