Lovely Hand Dyed Pure Linen Pink Dupatta

What sets this design apart?

The body is a solid magenta pink, with wide grey-green borders finished by a bright green line along the edge, and tassels at the ends. The cooler border against the warm, rich body gives it a balanced, slightly unexpected contrast.

Which kurta colours go with it?

Magenta is a strong, rich shade, so it looks best with calm kurtas: white, ivory, grey or a soft sage green that echoes the border. A deep green kurta gives a bolder look. Plain silver or oxidised jewellery keeps the focus on the colour.

How can I drape it?

Fold it into pleats and pin it on one shoulder for a tidy work look, or let it fall over both shoulders from the back. It is light enough to wrap loosely around the neck too. The border shows best when the edge falls along the front.

What size is it?

It is 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 35 to 36 inches wide, so it is a full-length dupatta that suits any regular drape. You get one dupatta in the package.

How do I wash it without losing the colour?

Dry cleaning is preferred. For a home wash, hand wash gently with a mild detergent, keep it separate since it is hand dyed, and dry it in the shade. Avoid wringing it hard.

Why does the surface look slightly uneven?

That is the natural slub of pure linen: small thicker threads in the weave that give it texture and a soft, matte look. It is a sign of the fibre, not a defect, and each piece will vary slightly. The linen also gets softer with every wash.
