Behind this piece
Parsi embroidery carries within it the memory of a remarkable migration. When Zoroastrian communities settled along India's western coast centuries ago, they brought needle traditions rooted in Persian florals and Chinese motifs, stitching them slowly into Indian silk and cotton. The result was a vocabulary of blooming roses, birds in flight, and trailing vines rendered in satin stitch with extraordinary precision. Here, those motifs are reinterpreted across a jacket in soft pastel hues, laid against creme-brulee polycotton. The embroidery is unhurried in its character, decorative yet disciplined, and unmistakably tied to a community that made India richer by arriving.
How to style
For a day wedding or mehndi ceremony, wear the full set and allow the embroidered jacket to remain open, fastened only at the collar. Pair with ivory juttis in Punjabi khussa work for a harmonious palette. For an evening reception, layer the jacket over a plain white kurta and tailored trousers for a more contemporary silhouette. Silver jewellery suits the pastel tones best: consider oxidised rings or a simple Rajasthani silver bracelet. The creme-brulee base reads warmly under both natural afternoon light and indoor evening settings, making it genuinely versatile across a wedding weekend.
Fabric & care
Polycotton holds its shape reliably, but the Parsi embroidery deserves careful handling. Hand wash in cool water using a gentle, colour-safe detergent; machine washing risks snagging the satin-stitch threads. Turn the jacket inside out before any wash. Do not wring. Lay flat on a clean towel to dry in shade, away from direct sun, which will lift the pastel hues over time. Iron on a low setting, always on the reverse side and never directly over embroidered panels. Store folded in soft muslin, not plastic, to allow the fabric to breathe between wearings.
