Craft Details

Machilipatnam-Inspired Floral Jaal Dupatta (Cotton-Silk)

The Story

At the heart of ethical curation is absolute clarity about how a textile is made. This vibrant dupatta pays beautiful homage to the traditional Machilipatnam Kalamkari aesthetic, featuring a sweeping, continuous floral jaal (net or web) and classic paisley border motifs.

While it mimics the visual language of traditional block printing, this piece is a meticulously executed commercial screen print. This mechanized process allows for the crisp registration of the vibrant pinks, blues, and yellows within the uniform black iron-acetate-style outlines, offering a bright, pristine surface color set against a bright white background.

The Fabric

Woven in a classic "Sico" (Cotton-Silk) blend, this dupatta offers the best of both fibers. The structure typically utilizes a silk warp to provide tensile strength and a subtle, continuous luster, crossed with a breathable cotton weft for body and structure. The result is a crisp, lightweight drape that holds its shape beautifully. The edges are finished with smooth, hand-twisted tassels that highlight the silk content in the weave.

A Note on Transparency

We believe in honoring indigenous crafts by clearly distinguishing between artisanal heritage techniques and commercial reproductions. This piece is categorized as a screen print, ensuring you know exactly what goes into the textiles you bring into your wardrobe.

Care Instructions

To preserve the beauty of the Kalamkari artwork and masleen fibres, we recommend dry cleaning only.
