Magenta silk edged in green, printed in diamonds and abstract blooms.

Why this piece

Green borders on magenta, a contrast most sets avoid
Geometric diamonds alternating with abstract botanical shapes
Gold and mustard accents lifting a vibrant base

The print

Magenta is the base, green is the edge. A continuous rectangular border of repeating abstract floral shapes runs along the dupatta, which prints densely, while the top stays moderate and lets the ground show. Geometric diamonds alternate with the botanicals, and gold, white and mustard appear as accents through both.

Styling

Magenta and green is a confident pairing that photographs well in daylight, so it earns its place at a festive lunch or a day wedding. Keep the border whole at the dupatta edge and stitch a simple kurta, or the two colours start to argue. Gold jewellery, and a green or gold clutch to close the loop.

The diamonds shift a fraction where one block meets the next, which is the mark of hand work.
