Dupattas have been worn in the Indian subcontinent for thousands of years. The first instance we see people wearing similar unstitched pieces of clothing is during the Indus Valley civilization. From then on, the dupatta has undergone some significant changes to become an essential piece of women's clothing. Each region of our country incorporates various age-old traditional techniques to weave the dupattas, offering a distinct character to them.
Curating a collection of grey dupattas for Jaypore has been an exciting journey. Each dupatta is weaved using a different craft technique, thus offering you a wide range of selections. From cotton, silk, Tussar, Linen, Kota, and more, each dupatta is crafted in the finest of materials, making them soft and lightweight. Banarasi, Bandhani, block-print, Ikat, and Maheshwari are some of the few crafts that we have used to create the dupattas.
Jaypore's grey dupattas are weaved from the finest materials. The designs on the dupattas are a fusion of traditional and modern Indian aesthetics. They reflect the diverse craft methods that are practised in the country. Let us take a look at our collection:
Banarasi
The ancient city of Varanasi is the birthplace of the Banarasi weaving technique. It was in the 14th century that the craft started taking shape. The weavers of that period integrated silk and Zari (metallic threads made from silver and gold) into weaving. Thus producing rich and luxurious fabrics with elaborate designs. It was further popularized by the Mughals, who extensively wore it for its rich and luxurious feel. The motifs mainly consist of Buttis, Kalga and Bel (intertwining of flowers and vines), and Jhallar on the border. While these motifs are most prevalent, it is not restricted to them. Geometric, Meena and other works can also be observed in the fabric. Our Banarasi dupattas are made from feature elaborate designs and a lustrous sheen that is hard to ignore. They perfectly complement various outfits and are fit for festive events.
Bandhani
Bandhani is believed to have originated around 5,000 years ago. It is a tie-and-dye technique in which the artisans, after bleaching and washing the fabric, tie small knots on the fabric and dip in the dyes to impart colour. While the knotted part remains undyed, the rest of the fabric catches the colour. The most prevalent design that can be seen is that of geometric. Our Bandhani grey dupattas feature geometric patterns and are fit for any light occasion.
Block Print
Block printing is one of the ancient craft techniques of the world. It has been in continual practice in various regions since the Indus Valley period. The artisans first carve out the designated design on the wooden blocks. They then dip these wooden blocks into the dyes and place them on the fabric. After applying gentle pressure on the blocks, what is left is a mosaic of patterns. Our block-printed dupattas feature floral motifs that are perfect to adorn any casual occasion.
Gota Patti
The craft of Gota Patti uses elaborate Zari work to make various designs. The Zari thread work is first sewn separately and then sewn together on the base fabric. Our Gota Patti grey colour dupatta offers a subtle, elegant charm perfect for any light or casual event. Whether you are wearing a grey dupatta for a lehenga or kurta, they are perfect to mix and match.
Hand Woven
The allure of a hand-woven dupatta is comparable. The soft texture and elegance of our grey handcrafted dupattas make them ideal for a wide range of occasions.
Ikat
Ikat is known for its vibrant colour and distinct pattern that is made during weaving. The artisans first resist-dye the yarns and then set it onto the loom. Both of these processes involve long hours and must be meticulously done to reveal the final intricate design. Since the patterns are made during the weaving process, it often takes days for the artisans to complete the pieces.
Maheshwari
Our Maheshwari dupattas feature the characteristic sheen and lightweight texture. They consist of expansive Zari work offering a regal appeal to it.
