Classic Hand Dyed Pure Linen Black Dupatta

What does the border look like?

The body is a light, sheer-looking black, and the border is a wide band of pink-red with an orange edge and a silvery sheen running through it. Red tassels finish the ends. The warm, bright border against the black gives it a lot of character.

What can I pair it with?

Almost anything. White, ivory and grey kurtas give a crisp contrast, while red, pink or coral kurtas pick up the border. An all-black outfit with this dupatta lets the red band be the only colour, which looks striking yet simple.

How sheer is it?

It is light and looks slightly sheer when draped, so a light kurta will show through softly, which gives a layered effect. Over dark kurtas it reads as deep black. Fold it double on the shoulder if you prefer more coverage.

How should I wash it?

Dry cleaning is preferred. If you hand wash, use cold water and a mild detergent, wash it on its own since it is hand dyed, and dry it in the shade rather than in direct sun. Don't wring it hard.

What size is it?

It is 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 35 to 36 inches wide, a full-size dupatta that works for all the usual drapes, from a pleated one-shoulder style to a loose wrap. One dupatta is in the package.
