Feminine Hand Dyed Slub Linen Pink Dupatta

How bright is this pink?

It is a hot fuchsia, strong and saturated, with pale round butis across the body and a silvery striped band at the hem. The silver keeps such a bold shade looking finished rather than flat. It suits you if you like colour close to the face.

What can I pair a fuchsia dupatta with?

Fuchsia is cool-toned, so it looks crisp with white, grey, navy and black kurtas. For a bolder colour-block, try it with lime, turquoise or orange. Silver jewellery matches the hem band and keeps the overall look balanced.

Does it have tassels at the ends?

Yes, small tassels finish the ends and add a little movement when the dupatta falls off the shoulder. When you wash it, handle them gently, then smooth them out with your fingers before drying so they hang straight.

Will it feel heavy on the shoulder?

No, it wears light. Slub linen is breathable, and at about 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 35 to 36 inches wide, it drapes easily across one or both shoulders without weighing down a cotton or linen kurta.

Does hand-dyed fabric need extra care in washing?

A little. Wash it by hand in cool water with a mild detergent, always on its own, since it is hand-dyed. Don't wring it; press the water out gently, and dry it in the shade to keep the pink from fading. Smooth the tassels before it dries.
