Pure Linen Alluring Brown Dupatta & Katan Silk Pink Top Set

Is the top plain?

Yes, it is a plain hot pink Katan silk with a soft sheen, with no stripes or print. It is a strong, cheerful colour that does the talking, while the taupe dupatta grounds it and keeps the set wearable.

What detail is on the taupe dupatta?

Small pink and lime hexagon butis spread across the linen, with a pink and lime band and tassels at the ends. The lime touches keep the pink-and-taupe pairing from feeling too sweet.

What does the set contain?

Two unstitched pieces: Katan silk for the top, about 2.4 to 2.5 metres long by 44 inches wide, and a pure linen dupatta, about 2.3 to 2.4 metres long by 32 to 33 inches wide. Bottoms are yours to choose.

How should I care for the set?

Dry clean if possible. For a home wash, use a mild detergent and gentle hands, wash the pink top and the dupatta separately, and dry in the shade so the hand-dyed colour stays bright.

How should I style the kurta?

Bright pink suits clean cuts: a straight or A-line kurta, three-quarter sleeves and a simple neckline. For contrast, ask your tailor for taupe or lime piping from their trims, picking up the dupatta's colours.

Where is this set from?

It is hand dyed in Bhagalpur, Bihar. As with all handcrafted fabric, minor irregularities may show, and they are part of the character of the piece rather than a flaw.
