Behind this piece
The all-over woven stripe is one of India's oldest textile languages, spoken fluently across the looms of Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, and the Deccan plateau long before printed cloth arrived. Here, that tradition is interpreted in a polycotton and flax remi blend, a pairing that borrows the breathability of natural linen-adjacent fibre and the easy resilience of polycotton. The result is cloth that holds its stripe cleanly through every wash. In Egret White and Snow White, the weave reads as quiet, composed, unhurried. A wardrobe essential that carries genuine textile thinking beneath its simplicity.
How to style
For morning errands or a relaxed weekend gathering, wear the Egret White set with kolhapuri chappals in tan leather and a simple rudraksha mala. At an intimate family lunch, layer the Snow White kurta beneath a fine raw-silk Nehru jacket in ivory or warm stone. For a rooftop evening, pair with white mojris embroidered in silver thread and a slim silver kada on the wrist. The woven stripe, being tonal rather than bold, accepts jewellery with restraint. Keep accessories singular and meaningful rather than layered.
Fabric & care
Machine wash in cold water on a gentle cycle. Polycotton holds colour reliably, but the flax remi component softens and settles with each wash, much like linen, so avoid hot water which encourages fibre distortion. Do not wring. Shake gently and dry flat in shade to preserve the stripe's crispness. Iron on a medium setting while slightly damp for a clean finish. Store folded rather than hung to prevent the pajama's drawstring waist from stretching over time. With attentive care, this set will wear well across many seasons.
