Can I use this as a head covering or scarf?
Yes. Our dupattas work well as head coverings, neck scarves, or draped over the shoulder. The lighter ones double up nicely for travel and layering.
Will the colors bleed when I wash it?
We recommend a cold water hand wash for the first use. Some natural dyes may release slight color initially. that settles after the first wash. Always wash separately the first time.

Our dupattas make thoughtful gifts. They are practical, beautiful, and carry the story of the craft behind them. We pack every order with care and a handwritten note.
How do I iron or press this?
Iron on low heat while slightly damp for best results. Use a pressing cloth on silk, chiffon, or embroidered dupattas. Steam works well on cotton and linen. Avoid high heat on synthetics.
What is Bandhani?
Bandhani is a tie-dye craft from Gujarat and Rajasthan, with roots going back 5,000 years. Artisans use fingernails to pinch fabric into tiny points and tie each one with thread. A single saree can have over 10,000 ties.
How is Bandhani done?
The artisan lifts fabric with a fingernail, ties it tightly with thread at that point, and repeats thousands of times to create a pattern. The tied cloth is then dipped in dye baths. Untying reveals the pattern.
How do I know this is hand-tied and not digitally printed?
Hand-tied Bandhani shows subtle color gradients where dye seeps near the ties. The pattern is slightly imperfect and organic. Machine prints look uniform and flat in comparison.
Why does the pattern vary between pieces?
Every tie is placed by hand. The pressure, spacing, and dye absorption differ each time. Two Bandhani pieces from the same maker will share the style but differ in exact pattern placement.
How do I wash Bandhani products?
Wash separately in cold water the first time. some color release is normal. Use mild soap. Avoid bleach. Air dry in shade. Colors become more settled and vivid after the first wash.
What does Chanderi Silk feel like?
Chanderi Silk has a smooth, cool-to-touch surface with a natural sheen. It drapes elegantly and feels light against the skin. The texture becomes softer with gentle use over time.
How do I wash Chanderi Silk products?
Dry clean is safest for Chanderi Silk. If hand washing, use cold water and a mild silk-specific detergent. Never wring. Roll in a towel to absorb moisture, then dry flat in shade.
Is Chanderi Silk suitable for summer or winter?
Chanderi Silk works across seasons. It feels cool in summer and retains warmth in winter. The natural temperature regulation of silk makes it comfortable year-round in Indian climates.
How durable is Chanderi Silk?
With proper care, Chanderi Silk products last for years. The fibre is naturally strong. Avoid rough handling, direct sun, and chemical detergents. Gentle care keeps it looking fresh long-term.
Why is Chanderi Silk priced higher than cotton?
Silk production is labour-intensive. from rearing silkworms to reeling the thread. Chanderi Silk involves additional regional techniques that add time and skill. The price reflects the material and the maker's effort.
