Sunny Hand Dyed Slub Linen Yellow Dupatta

What shade of yellow is this?

This is a warm golden yellow, sunny and slightly earthy. The streaky slub texture shows clearly on it, with faint pale butis across the body and small tassels at the ends. It is cheerful without looking loud, which makes it easy to wear in the daytime.

What colours pair with golden yellow?

Golden yellow is warm, so it looks good with white, cream, maroon, bottle green, brown and indigo kurtas. It also adds warmth to a plain grey or navy set. Gold-toned jewellery matches the warmth of the shade.

Is this more of a workday or a holiday dupatta?

Mostly a workday one: it brightens a plain office kurta without looking overdone. It is also an easy summer travel piece, being light and breathable, and works just as well for everyday wear when you want a cheerful touch.

How should I wash it?

Gently by hand, using a mild detergent. Wash it separately because it is hand-dyed, and avoid wringing. Lay or hang it to dry in the shade, and smooth out the tassels before drying so they don't tangle.

What is the size of the dupatta?

It is about 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 35 to 36 inches wide. That is enough to drape it fully over both shoulders, pin it on one side, or wear it loosely around the neck with a kurta.
