Silk Dupatta From Amritsar with Gota Patti, Floral Beads and Velvet Tassels on Edges
Dry clean only. Store folded in a soft muslin pouch away from direct sunlight to keep the sheen alive.
Description
Amritsar has long known how to dress a moment in celebration. This art silk dupatta carries the unmistakable character of Punjab's textile bazaars, where gota patti work has adorned bridal and festive dress for generations. The metallic ribbon trim catches light with a restrained shimmer, framing the fabric without overwhelming it. Floral beadwork, placed with deliberate care along the edges, adds a tactile dimension that rewards a closer look. Velvet tassels at the corners bring softness and weight in equal measure, ensuring the dupatta drapes with quiet authority. Available in sixteen colours, from the warmth of Saffron and Deep Claret to the cool composure of Biscay Green and Steel Gray, each shade offers its own mood and occasion. Pair the Saffron or Rich Gold with a raw silk kurta for a festive afternoon gathering. For a quieter, more personal elegance, the Lilac Sachet or Oceana reads beautifully against ivory and cream coordinates.

Behind this piece
Amritsar has long been a city where commerce and craft meet in the most luminous ways. Its textile traditions draw from Mughal-era embellishment sensibilities, and the gota patti work here, that precise application of fine metallic ribbon, carries centuries of festive intention within each pressed fold. This dupatta layers that gold-edged discipline with floral bead embroidery and velvet tassels along the border, each element sourced from the workshops that line the walled city's inner lanes. In art silk, the drape is fluid and the sheen generous, making heritage genuinely accessible.
How to style
Pair the Saffron or Rich Gold with an ivory Lucknowi kurta and raw silk palazzo trousers for a Diwali gathering; finish with polki earrings and kolhapuris in tan leather. The Deep Claret or Love Potion reads beautifully draped across a wine-coloured Banarasi blouse at a wedding reception. For a casual festive afternoon, knot the Parrot Green or Biscay Green loosely over a khadi kurta in ecru, with silver jhumkas and block-printed mules. The velvet tassels become an intentional accessory detail in every arrangement.
Fabric & care
Art silk rewards gentle handling. Hand wash separately in cold water using a mild, pH-neutral detergent, keeping agitation to a minimum to protect the gota patti ribbon and bead work from loosening. Never wring; instead press the fabric softly between two dry towels to remove moisture. Dry flat in shade, away from direct sunlight, which can shift the colour over time. Store loosely folded in a breathable muslin cloth, never a sealed plastic bag. A light press on reverse heat, with a thin cotton cloth as buffer, will restore the drape before wearing.
