Yes, you guessed it right. If you are an Indian, you know the Indian dupatta holds a very special place in your heart.

The Indian dupatta is made in different lengths and widths and comes in innumerable materials like silk, cotton, chiffon, georgette, organza, tissue, crepe, etc. It has different prints, patterns, and embellishments as well. Due to modernization, the dupatta is now merely an accessory to stylize your outfit even further; however, this was not always the case in rural India. In some cultures and traditions, it is mandatory to wear a dupatta. But gone are the days when a dupatta was a necessity for any modern woman. It is more of a style statement; it is worn around both arms, pleated, and draped over one shoulder, or it can also be simply put across the body. Let Karma Place help you look for your next favorite dupatta from our wide collection and find your unique style by draping it abstractly.

ART SILK STOLE

We talk about must-have dupattas in your wardrobe and do not mention bandhani and lehariya dupattas. No, not possible! Bandhani mainly originates in Rajasthan. Parts of fabrics are tied with a thread or a rubber band and then dipped in colorful dies. These threads are later removed, and you can see a beautiful tie and dye effect on fabrics. This tie-and-dye technique is also known as bandhej. This tie-and-dye technique is done on a variety of fabrics, like chiffon, georgette, silk, etc. This beautiful stole in shades of pink and orange with a gold gota Patti border is a stunning piece!

Style Tip: This colorful stole can be styled with any of your white or cream kurtas or even western tops to add that pop of color to your outfit!
