Double Layer Wrap-Around Long Skirt with Floral Print
Dry clean only. Store folded in a soft muslin pouch away from direct sunlight to keep the sheen alive.
Description
Some skirts are worn; this one is unfurled. Cut in a silk-viscose blend that catches afternoon light with the quiet generosity of a handloom weave, this double-layer wrap-around skirt belongs to a long Indian tradition of fluid, draped silhouettes that trust the body's movement over rigid tailoring. The double layer lends the fabric a subtle weight and opacity, so the fall of the skirt is graceful rather than limp. The floral print draws on the kind of botanical vocabulary found in block-print ateliers across Rajasthan and Gujarat, where craftspeople have long translated garden and meadow into repeat pattern. Available across sixteen carefully named colourways, from the cool mineral depth of Biscay Bay to the sun-warmed warmth of Golden Glow and the soft blush of Orchid Pink, the palette speaks to a wide range of complexions and occasions. The single size, generous in both length and waist, is designed to wrap and adjust as draped garments always have. Pair it with a crisp cotton kurta for a daytime gathering, or layer it beneath a fine chanderi dupatta for an evening that calls for a little more ceremony.

Behind this piece
Silk viscose carries a particular kind of memory. It borrows the luminous drape of pure silk and softens it with the fluid weight of viscose, producing a fabric that moves like a whispered conversation. The double layer of this wrap-around skirt deepens that quality, creating a silhouette that shifts with the wearer. The floral print, rendered across a remarkable range of colours from the dusty calm of Gray Morn to the vivid warmth of Tigerlily, draws on the long Indian tradition of botanical motifs in textile design, where flowers have always signified both celebration and restraint.
How to style
For a day gathering, pair the Rosebloom or Orchid Pink colourway with a fitted ivory cotton kurta and kolhapuri flats. For an evening occasion, the Estate Blue or Deep Lake variants suit a tucked silk blouse and block-heeled mules; layer a fine zari dupatta for depth. Those who prefer understated styling might choose Macchiato or Gray Morn with a structured linen top and oxidised silver ear cuffs. The wrap silhouette ties at the waist, making it adaptable across body proportions. A slender belt over the knot adds a contemporary edge without disturbing the skirt's natural fall.
Fabric & care
Silk viscose blends require measured handling. Hand wash in cool water with a mild, pH-neutral detergent; never wring the fabric, as viscose fibres weaken considerably when wet and will distort. Gently press out excess water between two clean towels. Dry flat in shade, away from direct sunlight, which fades printed colour over time. If ironing is needed, use a low setting with a pressing cloth placed between the iron and the fabric surface. Store folded loosely in a breathable cotton bag, not a sealed plastic cover, to allow the fibre to rest without creasing permanently.
