Behind this piece
Modal fabric belongs to a lineage of cellulosic fibres prized for their silk-like drape and uncommon softness against skin. Derived from beech wood pulp, modal is woven into lengths that breathe with the body across seasons. The plain stole, bordered with a hand-finished fringe, draws from a long South Asian tradition of wrap textiles: simple in construction, generous in spirit. This particular lot of ten invites gifting, sharing, and collecting across a palette of colours. The restrained fringe detail echoes the knotted borders seen on Kashmiri and Kutchi woven accessories, translated here into an accessible everyday form.
How to style
Drape one loosely over a white cotton kurta for an afternoon gathering, anchoring the look with oxidised silver jhumkas and flat Kolhapuri sandals. For cooler evenings, wrap a deeper-toned stole over a silk blend salwar suit and let the fringe fall at the hem. The diaspora wardrobe benefits greatly: layer a neutral stole over a linen blazer and straight trousers for a gallery opening or festive lunch, pairing with minimal gold studs. Each stole is lightweight enough to fold into a clutch bag and surfaces beautifully against both Indian and Western silhouettes.
Fabric & care
Modal softens further with each wash, making care a genuine pleasure. Hand wash in cool water using a mild, pH-neutral detergent; avoid wringing or bunching the fabric. Machine washing on a delicate cycle is acceptable if the stole is placed inside a mesh laundry bag. Do not tumble dry. Lay flat on a clean towel, reshape gently, and allow to air dry away from direct sunlight, which can shift the colour over time. Store folded, not hung, to preserve the fringe border. A well-cared-for modal stole will remain supple and lustrous across many years of wear.
