Pure Linen Dreamy Purple Dupatta With Katan Silk Pink Top Set

What finishes the dupatta's edges?

The periwinkle linen dupatta has a wide magenta band edged in lime, soft scattered dots across the body, and bright tassels at the ends. The border is the boldest part of the set, so let it show by draping the dupatta over one shoulder.

Do the pink top and purple dupatta clash?

No, they sit well together. The salmon-pink top is warm and the periwinkle dupatta is cool, and the magenta border links the two. The result looks deliberate rather than matched, and it works with both gold and silver jewellery.

Is the top ready to wear?

No, the top comes as unstitched Katan silk fabric, 2.4 to 2.5 metres long and 44 inches wide, so it can be tailored to your size and style. The linen dupatta comes finished with tassels and is ready to drape.

Will the linen feel stiff?

New linen has a crisp, slightly textured feel. It softens and becomes more supple with every wash, so the dupatta grows more comfortable the more you wear it, while keeping its natural lustre.

How long is the dupatta?

It is 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 32 to 33 inches wide. That is a full-size dupatta you can wear over one shoulder, across both, or pinned in neat pleats for a more formal look.

Why wash the pieces separately?

The set is hand-dyed, and washing each piece on its own is the gentle way to keep the magenta border and periwinkle body looking their best. Use a mild detergent, handle the fabric lightly and dry it in the shade, or choose dry cleaning, which is preferred.
