Floral Finesse Pure Linen Black Dupatta

How does the hot pink border look on the dark base?

The body is a deep charcoal black, scattered with small pink and lime woven flower buti, and framed by a wide hot pink border with lime edge stripes. The dark base makes both the buti and the border stand out sharply. Tassels finish the ends.

What kurtas suit it?

The dark base works with almost anything light: white, ivory, grey or pastel kurtas. A hot pink or fuchsia kurta matches the border, and an all-black outfit lets the dupatta carry all the colour. Silver jewellery suits it well.

How do I keep the dark colour from fading?

Hand wash gently in a mild detergent, on its own, and dry it in the shade, never in harsh sun. Don't wring it. Storing it folded away from direct light also helps the dark base keep its depth.

Is it comfortable in the heat?

Yes. Even in a dark shade, pure linen is a natural, breathable fabric known for its cool comfort, and this dupatta looks light. It is also absorbent, and it softens with every wash while keeping its strength.

Will the shade vary from the photo?

Slightly, possibly. Dark shades can look different on different screens, and because each piece is dyed by hand, the depth of the base and the pink can vary a little. Minor irregularities are part of handcrafted linen.
