Behind this piece
Hand embroidery in multicoloured thread belongs to a lineage of needle-work that stretches across northern and western India, from the mirror-studded ari work of Kutch to the dense surface embroidery traditions of Lucknow and Rajasthan. Each stitch in this skirt is placed by hand, building colour through layered thread rather than print or weave. Rayon, chosen as the base fabric, carries the weight of the embroidery without stiffening, allowing the motifs to sit against the body with ease. The result is a garment that holds the rhythm of handcraft inside a thoroughly wearable silhouette.
How to style
In Caviar Black, pair this skirt with a white cotton kurta and Kolhapuri chappals for an unhurried afternoon. In Frosty Spruce or Patriot Blue, layer it beneath a fine georgette dupatta and wear it to a festive lunch with oxidised silver jhumkas. The Cream Tan and Wood Ash colourways invite pairing with a tucked-in handloom linen shirt and leather block-heeled sandals, a combination suited to gallery openings or curated market days. A delicate silver kamar-bandh worn at the waist sharpens the silhouette across all colourways.
Fabric & care
Rayon is a semi-synthetic fibre with a soft drape that is vulnerable to heat, agitation, and prolonged soaking. Hand-wash in cool water with a gentle, pH-neutral detergent, working the fabric softly without wringing. Rinse once and press out water by folding the skirt gently inside a dry towel. Dry in shade, laid flat or hung on a wide hanger to prevent distortion. The embroidered sections should not be rubbed. Store folded in a breathable cotton bag, away from direct light, to preserve both the thread colour and the integrity of the rayon base.
