Chic Hand Dyed Slub Linen Pink Dupatta

What does the hem of this dupatta look like?

The hem has a wide silvery striped band with small tassels, so the ends carry a bit of shine against the deep raspberry body and pale butis. It is a good pick if you want a slightly dressier finish without any heavy work.

Is raspberry a warm or cool pink, and what suits it?

It is a deep berry pink that leans cool. It looks lovely with white, grey, navy, pale blue and mint kurtas. With black it gives a stronger contrast. Silver earrings echo the wide hem band and keep the look balanced.

Can I wear it pinned on one shoulder?

Yes. Gather it into soft folds and pin it on one shoulder, letting the length fall at the back so the wide silvery hem band shows. At about 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 35 to 36 inches wide, it is also easy to wear open across both shoulders.

Will every piece have the same colour?

Each one is dyed by hand, so the depth of the raspberry can vary slightly between pieces, and screens add their own shift. Small irregularities in colour and texture are expected in handcrafted fabric.

How do I wash the tasselled ends?

Wash the whole dupatta by hand in a mild detergent, on its own. Hold the tassels together while rinsing so they don't knot, then comb them gently with your fingers and hang the dupatta in the shade to dry.
