Some highlights of the collection:

This beautiful cotton silk Dupatta features the 7 colours of the rainbow, and is very unique and eye catching. Each colour section is skilfully joined together to look like 1. The circular detail,  which is shown within the perimeter of each colour, adds simple detail and compliments the Dupatta and adds a uniqueness and appeal to the design. The long tassels in alternative light blue, purple and navy blue with gold detail at the top add a simple additional appeal to the Dupatta. The tassels contrasts well with the colours of the rainbow, in order to not overpower the Dupatta. This Dupatta would compliment a simple and plain outfit.

In contrast to the above Dupatta, this white Chanderi cotton silk Dupatta is very light and would compliment a colourful or simple outfit to provide a beautiful finish to any outfit. It features a subtle gold detail border and Embroidered circles which may represent eternity and  diversity  through the variety of colours used, which link together from one to another, representing that everything continues: green, blue, yellow and red. In addition to this the shorter tassels in blue, red and yellow contrast well with the coloured stitched circles, white material and the gold border and bring a greater appeal and create a unique elegant and simple Dupatta.

The tassels match the darkest shade of green and compliment the Dupatta well, especially against the lightest shade of green. Gold detail is also added to the top of the tassels, which adds an extra aspect of creativity and catch the eye.

The black tassels contrast well with the design.

This is an eye catching beautiful Dupatta and stands out amongst others. There is a contrast in patterns between purple and mustard with a smudged effect at the boundaries of the mustard section. The Mustard features a gold sparkled pattern overlaying the base, with detailed patterns representing flowers and leaves. Again there is a gold border and the tassels here feature the colours gold and purple in alternative groups of 3 adding an extra appeal.

This magenta  coloured Dupatta is at first glance simple, but a look closer reveals green, yellow and blue embroidery detail, which contrasts well with the magenta background. The green detail forms the leaves and plant for the yellow flower to be placed above. The embroidery used is Kamal Kadai... Just the right number of flowers with the right amount of Appeal 

The subtle change in colour from blue to green creates a simple Dupatta and is difficult to see this change at first. However, the tassels on this Dupatta make the contrast more noticeable, due to their light blue colour which contrasts with, and emphasises the colours used. Simple and elegant Chanderi Cotton Silk
