Art Silk Dupatta with All-Over Floral Vines and Fringes
Dry clean only. Store folded in a soft muslin pouch away from direct sunlight to keep the sheen alive.
Description
There is a particular pleasure in wearing something that moves with you, that catches light like water does at the turn of an afternoon. This dupatta is woven from art silk, a fabric that carries the luminous quality of pure silk while remaining wonderfully accessible in its weight and drape. The all-over floral vine motif draws from a long tradition of surface ornamentation found across the weaving centres of northern and western India, where trailing botanicals have adorned ceremonial textiles for generations. Fringed edges complete the piece with an unhurried elegance, grounding the delicacy of the pattern in something tactile and considered. It is offered across ten colours, from the deep quiet of Atlantic Deep and Ocean Cavern to the celebratory warmth of True Red and Radiant Yellow, so each woman may find her own mood within the collection. Drape it over a cotton kurta for a weekday gathering where you wish to arrive with a little intention, or layer it across the shoulders of a silk anarkali for a festive evening. The fringes will settle just so, and the vines will do the rest.

Behind this piece
The floral vine has been a recurring grammar of Indian textile design for centuries, tracing its roots to Mughal-era pattern books where climbing blossoms symbolised abundance and continuity. Rendered here in art silk, a fibre that captures the luminosity of pure silk at a more accessible weight, this dupatta carries that ornamental sensibility into everyday wear. The all-over jaal of vines, disciplined yet fluid, reflects the hand-loom and power-loom traditions of northern India where repeat-floral grounds have long been woven for festive and bridal accessories. The knotted fringe finishes each end with characteristic regional frankness.
How to style
Drape Atlantic Deep or Ocean Cavern over an ivory chanderi kurta for a Diwali gathering, anchoring the look with oxidised silver jhumkas and kolhapuri flats. For a daytime event, pair Lemon Icing or Peach Echo with a blush anarkali and minimal gold studs, letting the vine pattern carry the visual work. Shocking Pink or Pink Peacock worn loosely over a white cotton kurta-pant set transforms a simple silhouette into something considered and festive. Jet Black works particularly well across formal occasions, paired with a silk salwar suit and block-heeled mules.
Fabric & care
Art silk is a regenerated or synthetic fibre that mimics silk's drape but demands careful handling to preserve its sheen. Hand-wash in cool water using a mild, pH-neutral detergent; never wring or twist. Rinse gently and roll the dupatta inside a clean cotton towel to absorb excess water before laying it flat in shade to dry. Iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth between the iron and fabric to protect the surface lustre. Store folded in a muslin cloth, away from prolonged sunlight, to prevent colour shift over time.
