Rajsi Roop Maheshwari Silk Suit (T+D) Light Purple

What finishes the ends of the dupatta?

The mauve dupatta has a gold zari edge at each end, followed by a purple stripe band woven into the cloth, and tassels at the corners. The purple band picks up the top, so the two pieces look made for each other.

How does the purple and mauve pairing come across?

It is a gentle tonal look. The purple top and the dusty mauve dupatta come from the same family, so the set feels calm and put together. A purple, ivory or soft pink bottom keeps that soft mood, and gold or pearl jewellery suits it well.

Why might the shade look different in person?

Phone and laptop screens show purples quite differently, so the shade may look a little lighter or deeper in person. The fabric is also handwoven, so small variations in weave and stripe spacing are normal, and each set differs slightly from the next.

What is included in the package?

Two pieces of unstitched Maheshwari cotton silk: a top piece of 2.4 to 2.5 metres and a dupatta of 2.4 to 2.5 metres. There is no bottom fabric, so you can pair it with the salwar, churidar or palazzo style you prefer.

Will it feel comfortable all day?

Maheshwari cotton silk, handwoven in Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh, is light and breathable thanks to the cotton, with a soft sheen from the silk. It carries well from a working day into an evening without feeling heavy or sticky.

How should I look after it?

Handwash gently with a mild detergent and wash it separately, as purples can release some dye. Press water out instead of wringing, dry in shade, and iron on medium with a cloth over the zari edge. Store folded in a cotton cloth.
