Rich Hand Dyed Slub Linen Maroon Dupatta

How do the pale pink butis look on this dupatta?

Small pale pink rounds are spread across the deep maroon body, giving a soft contrast that looks graceful rather than loud. The hem ends in a silvery striped band with tassels. The matte finish keeps the colour rich and deep.

What goes well with maroon?

Maroon looks rich with cream, beige, ivory and pale pink kurtas. It also pairs well with grey, mustard and bottle green. Silver jewellery matches the hem band, while gold gives a warmer, more traditional feel.

Is it big enough to wrap around both shoulders?

Yes. At about 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 35 to 36 inches wide, it covers both shoulders easily in a U-drape, with enough length left for the ends to fall at the back. It also works well pinned on one side.

How should I wash it?

Always wash it separately, since it is hand-dyed, in cool water with a mild detergent. Don't leave it wet against other fabrics; press the water out without wringing and dry it in the shade. Smooth the tassels before it dries.

What is slub linen?

It is linen woven from yarn with natural thick and thin sections called slubs. These give the fabric a textured, slightly rustic look. It keeps the breathability and durability of linen, and the texture makes each piece a little different.
