Pure Linen Gorgeous Plum Dupatta & Orange Ikkat Kurti Set

Where does the orange come from in this set?

The kurti fabric is orange with cream zigzag ikkat motifs all over, and the plum linen dupatta ends in a magenta and orange stripe band finished with tassels. The orange in the dupatta end links it back to the kurti, so the two pieces read as one set.

How do I style plum with orange?

Treat the plum as the anchor: a plum or ivory bottom with the orange kurta, gold or oxidised jewellery, and tan or plum footwear. The combination is warm and bold, so keep accessories simple.

Can I wear it every day?

Yes. Its main use is office wear, and the cotton and linen keep it comfortable for everyday wear too. It suits kitty lunches and brunches, and the breathable fabrics are handy for summer outings and travel.

Does the kurta come stitched?

No. The kurta is unstitched ikkat fabric, so your tailor can cut it to your size and preferred style, while the linen dupatta is ready to wear. The fabric is about 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 44 inches wide.

How do I wash the set?

Hand wash gently with a mild detergent, wash the pieces separately and dry them in the shade. Do not wring the linen dupatta; press the water out instead and iron it while slightly damp. Linen softens a little more with each wash.

Why do the ikkat edges look slightly blurred?

Because the pattern is dyed into the yarns before weaving, the threads never line up perfectly on the loom, so the motifs have soft, feathered edges. That blur is the sign of genuine ikkat, not a printing fault, and it varies a little from piece to piece.
