Pure Linen Poised Blue Dupatta & Katan Silk Pink Top Set

What is special about the dupatta?

The light blue linen dupatta has small square pink butis, and its ends carry orange and pink bands. An orange striped column runs along it as well, and orange tassels finish the edges, so it has a cheerful, graphic feel.

Do coral and light blue really go together?

They do, because one is warm and the other cool. The coral-pink top is plain and warm, the dupatta is a cool, soft blue, and the orange in the bands bridges the two. The contrast feels fresh rather than clashing.

Can I wear it beyond the office?

Office wear is where it fits best, but it also works for a festive get-together, a kitty party or brunch, and summer outings or travel, where the light linen dupatta keeps you comfortable.

What does the set include?

An unstitched length of Katan silk for the top, roughly 2.4 to 2.5 metres by 44 inches, and a pure linen dupatta, roughly 2.3 to 2.4 metres by 32 to 33 inches. You choose your own bottoms.

How does the Katan silk top feel?

Katan silk combines comfort with a refined finish. On this coral top it looks smooth and clean with a matte face, which balances the more textured linen of the dupatta and keeps the set looking put-together.

How do I keep the tassels neat?

Dry cleaning is the gentlest option. If you hand wash, use a mild detergent, don't wring or twist the ends, and gently straighten the tassels while the dupatta dries in the shade.
