A beige drape carries a lively magenta Warli print of figures, huts and village scenes.

Why this piece

• 
  Opaque and light — a measured 50 GSM, so nothing shows through the beige ground.


• 
  Consistent print — the magenta reads clean against the beige because every piece is printed to the same repeat.


• 
  Magenta village pallu — a large magenta pallu panel of figure rows and central huts, separated by geometric bands, with a narrow magenta border, the feature that sets this drape apart from the ones beside it.

The print

The design is an all-over Warli-style print of figures and village vignettes. It is printed digitally in Bangalore by a specialist print studio, with the same repeat used on every piece, so the colour and pattern arrive as drawn.

The pallu

The pallu carries a large magenta panel: rows of figures around central huts, separated by horizontal geometric bands — a little village scene at the end of the drape. A narrow magenta band and a thin decorative strip edge the length.

The drape

It is soft and smooth with a fluid, lightweight fall — 6.2 to 6.3 metres in total at 44 to 45 inches wide, made up of a 5.5 metre drape and a 0.8 metre (80 cm) running blouse piece continuous with it. The whole thing weighs about 425 grams, so it carries easily through a long day.

This is a single chosen piece of this exact magenta scheme, delivered on its own — not a bulk lot you cannot select a shade from.

Wearing it

Its light weight, matte surface and easy fall suit daytime celebrations, festive daywear and daily wear. The warm beige with a bright magenta reads cheerful rather than heavy, an easy pick for a daytime celebration you still want to be comfortable through.

Colour hues may vary slightly from the images because of different screens and displays.
