Pure Linen Poetic Purple Dupatta & Katan Silk Pink Top Set

Is this an all-pink set?

Mostly, in a tone-on-tone way. The plain top is a deep magenta with a soft sheen, and the dupatta is a softer mauve-pink. Lime tassels at the ends and a pink and lime band break up the pinks.

What do the butis look like?

They are small hexagon butis in pink and pale gold, scattered across the mauve linen. The pale gold gives the dupatta a gentle glow, which helps the set look a little dressier in the evening.

Will I need a tailor?

Yes, for the top. The Katan silk comes unstitched so it can be made to your measurements and preferred style. The linen dupatta comes as a full-length piece with its tasselled ends.

How does the dupatta fall?

It is about 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 32 to 33 inches wide, enough to drape on one shoulder or across both. The linen has a characteristic crisp texture at first and becomes softer and more supple with each wash.

Will the pinks look exactly as in the photo?

Close, but not identical. The set is hand dyed, so shades can vary a little, and screens render pinks and mauves differently. Small irregularities are part of each handcrafted piece.

What should I pair it with?

Pale gold, off-white or a deep magenta bottom keeps the tone-on-tone look going. For contrast, a lime or olive churidar echoes the tassels. Gold-toned jewellery suits the pale gold butis on the dupatta.
