Flowing Beauty: Vibrant Dupattas for Every Look

September 30, 2025 On September 30, 2025

What Is Dupatta?

A dupatta is a traditional South Asian scarf or shawl worn mainly by women as part of ethnic attire like salwar kameez, lehengas, or kurtis. Typically long and rectangular, it is draped over the shoulders, across the chest, or over the head. Made from fabrics such as cotton, silk, chiffon, or georgette, dupattas are often adorned with embroidery, prints, mirror work, or lace. Beyond its visual appeal, the dupatta holds cultural significance, symbolizing modesty and grace. It is also used during religious or ceremonial occasions to cover the head or shoulders. In modern fashion, dupattas have evolved into statement pieces, styled in creative ways. Whether traditional or contemporary, a dupatta beautifully completes and enhances any ethnic ensemble with elegance and charm.

How To Care Albasir’s Dupattas

Gentle Hand Wash

Use cold water and a mild detergent for delicate fabrics like chiffon, georgette, and cotton.
Avoid scrubbing or wringing; gently rinse and press excess water with a towel.

Avoid Direct Sunlight

Dry in shade to avoid color fading and fabric weakening.
Never hang silk or organza dupattas under harsh sun.

Iron with Caution

Use a low-heat or silk setting on your iron.
Always place a cotton cloth over the dupatta while ironing to protect embroidery or delicate fabric.

Proper Storage

Store dupattas folded neatly in a breathable cotton or muslin bag.
Avoid plastic covers, which can trap moisture and cause yellowing or mildew.
For zari or silk dupattas, place tissue paper between folds to prevent creasing or color transfer.

Keep Away from Perfumes & Sprays

Avoid direct contact with perfumes, deodorants, or hairspray, as chemicals can stain or weaken the fabric and embellishments.

Air Regularly

If stored for long periods, take them out occasionally to air and refold—this prevents fabric stress and moisture buildup.
