How would you describe the hexagon butis?
They are small, evenly scattered hexagons in pink and lime on the olive-taupe linen. Their tidy geometric shape gives the dupatta a modern feel, and they repeat the pink and lime of the contrast bands at the dupatta ends, which are finished with tassels.
Can the aqua top be worn without the dupatta?
Yes. The top is a plain aqua Katan silk with a soft sheen, so once tailored it works as a standalone kurta with white or beige bottoms. The dupatta then becomes an option for whenever you want more colour.
Does the set come stitched?
It comes unstitched. The Katan silk top fabric goes to your tailor to be made to your size and preferred style, and the linen dupatta comes as a full-length piece with tasselled ends.
How should it be cleaned?
Dry cleaning is preferred. You can also hand wash gently in a mild detergent, keeping the pieces apart since they are hand dyed, then dry in the shade away from direct sun.
How close will the shades be to the photo?
Very close, with small variations. Hand dyeing means the aqua and olive can shift slightly from piece to piece, and screens show colours differently. Minor irregularities are part of handcrafted fabric.
What bottoms suit this set?
White, beige or a soft olive bottom keeps things balanced. For more contrast, try pink, which picks up the dupatta's band and butis. Silver or oxidised jewellery suits the cool aqua.
