Dupattas

In Indian fashion, dupattas are one of the most versatile and graceful pieces of clothing. Their beauty and glamour have inspired us at Priyanka Raajiv to create a stunning collection of Chanderi, Banarasi, and Upcycled Dupattas that reflect the rich heritage of Indian craftsmanship. Our range of traditional and modern dupattas are available in a variety of stunning designs, that can be effortlessly paired with lehengas, kurtas, co-ord sets, and even sarees.

Leela was a kind and graceful woman. Everyone knew her because of the beautiful dupatta she always wore. The silk dupatta was a beautiful shade of maroon with intricate embroidery using gold and silver threads. Whenever she wore it, everyone would praise her and she could instantly become the centre of attention. All the women in the village were jealous of her and the beauty of the dupatta.

There was another woman in the village named Shweta, who was very jealous of Leela's dupatta. She wanted it to be hers. One night when Leela was asleep, Maya entered her home and stole the dupatta.

Leela looked everywhere for her dupatta but she could not find it. The dupatta was very special to her because it had been passed on from her grandmother to her mother and then after the passing of her mother, she would carry it as a memory of her mother’s love.

The whole village helped Leela in looking for her dupatta. Many people were aware of Maya’s jealousy. They informed the village elders about Maya’s jealousy and confronted her. Maya confessed her crime. She returned the stolen dupatta to Leela with tears of guilt streaming down her cheeks. In that moment, Maya realised how jealousy had made her act selfishly and hurt someone else’s feelings.

Moral of the story: We should not allow jealousy to make poor decisions that will cause us sorrow and regret. Instead, we should stay true to our values and show kindness to everyone in our life.

Our designing and development process truly sets us apart from other designers. Our team of skilled artisans handcraft each design. We only use premium quality fabrics such as silk, chiffon, georgette, and cotton for making our Chanderi, Banarasi and Upcycled Dupattas. Our artisans use techniques like hand embroidery, block printing, zari work, and tie-dye to create motifs and intricate patterns.

It is very important to us at Priyanka Raajiv to create designs that preserve our culture and traditions.

While dupattas are one of the most versatile pieces of clothing, there are a lot of different types of dupattas available at Priyanka Raajiv in terms of materials, work and technique.

3. Upcycled Dupattas

At Priyanka Raajiv, our upcycled dupattas are a symbol of our creativity and promise to sustainable practices. Each handcrafted one-of-a-kind upcycled dupatta has vibrant patchwork, embroidery or sequences on it. These dupattas are created using leftover cuttings and materials generated at the design studio. By choosing to buy upcycled dupatta you not only make a style statement but also contribute to environmental conservation.

3. Formal Events

At your next office party, look even more sophisticated by draping a tulle dupatta or an upcycled dupatta. Designed using sequences and thread-work, dupattas can add elegance to all your outfits.

1. Dry Clean Only

Since most dupattas are made of delicate materials and contain elaborate embroidery, it is preferable to dry-clean them to maintain their color and quality.

2. Store with Care

Your dupattas should always be kept out of direct sunlight in a cool, dry environment. To prevent stretching, don't hang them for extended periods.Use gentle handling when folding or wearing your dupatta to prevent rips and damage to the embroidery.

3. Avoid Contact with Perfume and Deodorant

Avoid spraying perfume or deodorant directly onto your dupatta to avoid stains and damage to it.
