Bright Hand Dyed Pure Linen Yellow Dupatta

What is the border like?

The body is a bright, plain yellow, and the edges carry stripes of red and orange, with tassels at the ends. The warm stripes frame the yellow cleanly, so the dupatta looks cheerful but still simple enough to wear often.

Which kurta colours suit it?

Yellow is warm, so it sits well with white, off-white, red and orange kurtas, and with soft greens. For a sharper contrast, try it over navy, indigo or royal blue. A plain kurta lets the red and orange border show best.

Is it see-through?

It is a light, airy linen and looks slightly sheer when draped, so the kurta colour can show through a little. That works well over light kurtas. Over a dark kurta, fold it double for a brighter yellow.

How should I wash it?

Dry cleaning is preferred. You can also hand wash gently in a mild detergent. Wash it separately, since it is hand dyed, and don't leave it wet and bunched up. Dry it open, in the shade.

Is linen comfortable in the heat?

Very. Linen is made from flax fibre and is known for its breathability and for keeping you cool in hot weather. This dupatta looks light and slightly sheer, and the linen becomes softer and more supple with every wash.

Will the yellow match my screen?

Close, but screens vary, and since each piece is dyed by hand, the depth of the yellow can differ a little between dupattas. Small irregularities in the weave and dye are part of handmade linen.
