Dupatta is the epitome of grace. It is an extension of one's individuality that carries emotions with it. This unstitched piece of fabric has been worn by women for centuries. The very first instance we see of a similar cloth being worn is during the Indus Valley civilization. Since then, it has undergone significant changes to become the iconic dupatta that we know today. With time, they have been integrated effortlessly into the craft ecosystem, where the artisans weave intricate details in it, making it a masterpiece.
Curating a collection of dupattas for women has been an enthralling journey for Jaypore. Each dupatta is crafted in the finest of materials that showcase a fusion of traditional and contemporary motifs. Our efforts to preserve the age-old traditional craft techniques are reflected in this collection. Ajrakh, Banarasi, Bandhani, Block-print, Chikankari, and Jamdani are some of the few crafts that we have used to make the dupattas.
Like the changing terrains of India, the dupattas' designs and styles change. Each region is known for its unique crafts, which are used to weave these dupattas. Thus making them vibrant and unique in each sense. Let us take a look at our collection:
Ajrakh
Like many indigenous crafts of India, Ajrakh traces its roots to the Indus Valley civilization. It is among the oldest crafts to have survived to the present day. The craft is practised in the western parts of the country, mostly in the Kutch region of Gujarat. The artisans use a combined method of resist-dyeing and block-printing to make the distinct motifs of Ajrakh. They use various natural materials like Myrobalan (powder of Harde trees' nuts), tamarind paste, madder root, indigo, pomegranate bark and seeds, turmeric, jaggery, and many more to make the resists and colour. The entire process can involve anywhere between sixteen to twenty-three steps and takes days to create one piece. Our Ajrakh dupattas are available in various earthy and light shades that feature the distinct floral and geometric prints of Ajrakh. They perfectly complement various outfits and are fit for various occasions.
Bagh
Bagh is known for its hand block printing and dyeing using natural materials with various traditional motifs. The women's clothing that was created using the Bagh technique is known for its red, white, and black colours, which were created using natural elements. The motifs chiefly comprise stylized flowers, paisley, and geometric styles. While traditionally, red and black coloured motifs were printed on white backgrounds, it has evolved to make room for more contemporary styles and colours. Our Bagh dupatta collection features the typical prints of the craft. These are perfect for any formal or festive occasion.
Banarasi
The ancient city of Varanasi is the cradle of the Banarasi craft. Originating in the 14th century, Banarasi is known for its Zari highlights on luxurious fabric. The motifs mainly comprise Buttis, paisley, Kalga, Bel, Jhallar, and Meena. What makes the fabric even more rich is its iridescent sheen. This lustre caught the attention of the Mughals, who were known for their love of such luxurious things. This further promoted the craft beyond the Indian borders, making it globally renowned. Our Banarasi dupattas for women are available in vibrant and earthy shades. They are a mix of traditional and contemporary designs and fit for various occasions.
Bandhani
Bandhani originated around 5,000 years ago in the Kutch region of Gujarat. It is a tie-and-dye technique in which the artisans tie several tiny knots on fabric to make geometric patterns. Once the knots are tied, they then proceed to dye them in vibrant colours. While the knotted part remains undyed, the rest of the fabric catches the colour. It takes days to complete each piece of clothing, making it a time-consuming and labour-intensive process. Our Bandhani dupatta sets for women are available in vibrant colours, making them perfect for festivals.
Batik
The craft of Batik originated in Indonesia. Over the years, it spread to various regions of the Earth, including India. It is a wax resist-dyeing technique which produces various abstract, geometric, and floral prints. When the craft reached the Indian subcontinent, the artisans seamlessly integrated and lending their own twist offered a new dimension. The artisans first prepare the fabrics and then apply the wax in various patterns using various methods like canting or stamping. Once done, the fabric is then dyed in various colours. The wax is then removed either by boiling the fabric or other methods. This process can be repeated several times depending on the design, revealing mesmerizing patterns. Our Batik dupattas are available in vibrant colours with floral patterns. These are perfect for any festive affairs.
Hand Block-Print
Block-printing is a relief-printing method that has been practised since the Indus Valley period. The artisans first carve out the designs on the wooden blocks and then dip them in the dyes. Next, they place these blocks onto the fabric carefully and apply gentle pressure to make the imprints on it. The artisans take years to master the skill and make precise imprints. Our block-printing dupattas for women collection is available in soft pastels and earthy and vibrant colours. Featuring floral and other traditional designs, these are perfect for various occasions.
Chanderi
The craft of Chanderi originated in the beautiful town of Chanderi in Madhya Pradesh. It is known for creating lightweight and translucent fabric with Zari work. This weaving technique offers the fabric a wispy charm with luxurious feel. Our Chanderi dupattas are available in various colours and fit for different occasions.
Chikankari
Chikankari, known for its subtly elegant threadwork, originated in Nawab Lucknow. Originally, the artisans sewed intricate patterns using white threads on silks. However, with time, they further included various coloured threads on different materials. The motifs include Buttis, leaves, and flowers. Our Chikankari dupattas for women are available in various shades that are fit for formal, casual, or festive events.
Gota Patti
The craft of Gota Patti is known for its elaborate gold or silver lace work that can further be embellished with small pieces of Zari. Once these laces are made, they are then sewn onto the fabric, usually in the borders. The Gota Patti mainly consists of floral and leaf motifs. They offer the garment a rich and luxurious appeal, making it a regal affair. Our Gota Patti dupatta sets for women are available in various colours that feature a fusion of traditional and contemporary design. They are perfect for any light or festive occasion.

Ikat
Ikat, while originated in Indonesia, quickly spread over various parts of the world. It eventually reached India, where it was seamlessly integrated with the other crafts. The process of Ikat is elaborate and takes days to complete. The artisans first resist-dye the yarns and then carefully set them on the loom as per the design. The Ikat is known for its elaborate geometric prints in vibrant colours. Our Ikat dupattas for women feature the craft's typical weave and are perfect for various festive seasons.
Jamdani
Jamdani weave is renowned for producing some of the finest and softest fabrics. The weavers use a complementary weft to create the characteristic motif of the craft. While we see the first hear of Jamdani from a 7th century Arab traveler named Sulaiman, it was the Mughals who popularized it. The weaving technique is practised by the weavers of Bengal. Our Jamdani dupatta sets for women are made in pastel, light, and earthy shades. They are suitable for all seasons and various occasions.
Kalamkari
Kalamkari is known for its elaborate patterns of flowers, vines, and scenes from the Hindu epics. The craft originated centuries back in the present-day regions of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. The artisans use bamboo or palm reeds to draw the motifs on the block print. They are often also known to use block-printing methods along with a reed to create the patterns. Our Kalamkari dupattas for women feature the typical prints of the craft. These are suitable to adorn for any casual or light occasions.
Kantha
The origins of Kantha can be traced to the undivided Bengal. The artisans use simple running stitches to create elaborate patterns on the fabric. Our Kantha dupattas are available in pastel and earthy shades, making them suitable for various outfits and occasions.
Lehriya
The craft of Lehriya originated in Rajasthan. Today, it is an integral part of Rajasthan's culture. It is known for its wave-like pattern, which was created using the tie-and-dye technique. Our Lehriya dupattas are made in vibrant colours to suit your taste.
