Bright Kota Mini Check Yellow Dupatta

What does the mini check look like on this dupatta?

It is a tonal check: small squares woven in the same shade as the base, so the pattern shows as texture rather than contrast. From a distance the dupatta reads as a solid, sunny yellow; up close you see the grid. A narrow striped band and tassels finish the hem.

How is it made?

The check is woven into the Kota silk with jacquard work, and the colour is dyed by hand. Because the dyeing is done by hand, the shade can vary a little from one piece to the next, and minor irregularities are part of each dupatta.

What size is it?

About 2.3 to 2.4 metres long and 35 to 36 inches wide, a full dupatta size. That is enough to drape across both shoulders, pin on one side, or cover the head.

What does a bright yellow dupatta go with?

Whites and creams make it pop. It also works with green, which is picked up in the pale green accent at the hem, and with navy or deep blue for contrast. A plain printed kurta in any of those shades will pair well.

How should I care for it?

Dry clean is preferred. If you wash at home, use a gentle hand wash with mild detergent in cool water, wash it separately since the colour is hand dyed, and dry it in the shade rather than in direct sun.
