Ultimate Guide to Buying a Dohar Online

We all remember our moms carefully tucking us into a cozy dohar when we fell asleep on a summer afternoon. A dohar blanket or a throw blanket as it is called is the ultimate comforter and an essential when it comes to bed linen. You might have seen people investing in a dohar to add that extra charm and comfort to their bedroom. If you’ve been coveting a dohar in Indian prints, wait before you fall for any trickery. Read on to know how to buy authentic, elegant, and skin-safe dohars for your bedroom.

A dohar blanket (throw blanket) is typically made by weaving two cotton sheets together. An additional layer of cotton or flannel is stitched in between a lot of times to give the blanket extra warmth. In fact, the word ‘dohar’ is a Hindi word that comes from the original term ‘dohrana’ or repeating (the layer of fabric). A dohar blanket made of cotton is perfect for summer since they are light, breathable, and comfortable. They add the right amount of coziness to a summer noon’s slumber and are almost indispensable in an Indian bedroom. A lot of times doors are also used as AC blankets for extra comfort during the night.

Buying a dohar online can be tricky! It is not as straightforward as buying a regular garment. Sellers can cheat you in all sorts of ways while selling you bed linen. A lot of companies and unregulated vendors sell cheap polyester-lined or machine-printed throw blankets in the name of the originals. You may end up falling prey to fraudulent practices like not accepting returns, sending a duplicate of an original design, etc. It is best to trust websites that display all details and go the extra mile to ensure your 100% satisfaction. Always look for the sourcing details - any good company will call it out loud along with clear cancellation, returns & refund policies.
