Off-white botanicals sit crisp against a warm orange ground.

Why this piece

A single-contrast print - only off-white on orange, which is why it reads clean rather than busy.
Colour-fast, so the off-white stays off-white and does not tint on the first wash.
The dupatta ends in a length of plain orange silk, ready to fall over the shoulder unbroken.

The print

Botanical shapes alternate with small geometric forms in an even all-over repeat on the top. The dupatta takes a quieter route: one continuous decorative band runs along its length before giving way to a stretch of plain orange, so there is somewhere for the eye to rest.

Wearing it

Orange with off-white is a daytime combination - festive mornings, office days in autumn, a lunch invitation. Silver or brass jewellery works better than gold here. The mix of katan silk, real hand block printing and Bhagalpur origin is close to absent elsewhere at this price point. Block printed by hand, and still dispatched the next working day.
