Kashmiri Short Jacket with Chain Stitch Aari Embroidered Floral Sprigs and Side Pockets

Description

A jacket that carries the mountains within its stitching. Worked by Kashmiri artisans who have inherited the aari hook across generations, this short wool jacket brings the valley's signature chain-stitch embroidery to a silhouette made for the contemporary wardrobe. Floral sprigs climb across the surface in the unhurried rhythm that defines Kashmir's needlework tradition, each motif rendered in thread that catches light with quiet confidence. The wool ground is warm without weight, generous enough for the first cool evenings of autumn and the lingering chill of a northern winter. Practical side pockets and a neat cropped length speak to a garment designed for living in, not merely admiring. It is offered in three considered colours: Pageant Blue, a deep and dignified hue; Plein Air, soft as morning mist; and Red Plum, richly autumnal. Layer it over a fine cotton kurta for a relaxed daytime ease, or wear it above straight-cut trousers when the occasion calls for something a little more composed.
