Kosha Saaz Pure Mul Cotton Applique Dupatta Coal Black

What sets this Kosha Saaz colourway apart?

The black mul base carries blue-and-white patterned zigzag bands near the hem, with matching blue piping along the edges. Small pink mirrors are set between the bands, and running stitch lines run up the body. The printed blue patches against black give it a quieter, indigo-toned look with a small pop of pink.

Will a black dupatta feel warm in summer?

The colour is dark, but mul cotton is soft, airy and woven from fine yarns, with good breathability, so it stays comfortable in warm weather. If you are out in strong sun, draping it loosely rather than wrapping it tightly keeps it feeling light and airy.

What colours pair well with it?

Black with indigo works with almost any plain kurta. Try white, grey or powder blue for a cool look, or mustard and pink to echo the mirror accents. It also lifts a plain black kurta set, adding texture and handwork without adding much colour.

How do I drape a dupatta this size?

At 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 35 to 36 inches wide, it can be worn many ways. Let it fall from one shoulder with the applique hem showing, wrap it around the shoulders like a stole, or drape it in a U across the front. The tassels look best when the ends hang free.

Can I hand wash it at home?

Dry clean is preferred. If you hand wash, use a mild detergent in cold water, wash it on its own, and handle the mirror and applique areas gently without wringing. Dry it in the shade rather than in direct sun to keep the black looking deep.
