Behind this piece
Silk viscose carries a particular quiet luxury: the luminosity of silk tempered by the easy drape of viscose, a combination that became a quiet favourite in Indian textile studios seeking wearability without sacrificing surface beauty. The printed motifs on this dress draw from India's long tradition of block and screen printing, where repeating botanical and geometric forms have adorned fabric for centuries. Made to order, each piece is cut and finished with deliberate attention, meaning the print placement, the fall of the double layer, and the silhouette all receive care that ready stock rarely allows.
How to style
For a gallery opening or cultural evening, wear the Hyacinth or Limoges colourway with strappy gold kolhapuri sandals and a single temple-gold pendant. At a summer wedding lunch, the Floral White or Shell Pink reads beautifully against antique silver jhumkas and a structured potli bag. For everyday dressing in warmer months, the Russet Orange or Baked Clay pairs naturally with tan leather mules and a light Kota dupatta draped at the shoulder, grounding the sleeveless silhouette with just enough structure. The midi length suits both flats and block heels with equal ease.
Fabric & care
Silk viscose is a responsive fabric: it rewards gentleness and suffers under heat or carelessness. Hand wash in cool water using a mild, pH-neutral detergent, never wringing or twisting the cloth. If machine washing is necessary, use a mesh bag on the gentlest cycle. Dry flat in shade, away from direct sunlight, which can shift both the printed motifs and the base colour over time. Steam rather than iron, holding the iron slightly above the surface. Store folded in breathable muslin, away from damp; cedar blocks offer gentle protection from insects without chemical damage.
