Behind this piece
Aari embroidery takes its name from the hooked needle, the *aari*, that skilled artisans of Kashmir and Lucknow draw through taut fabric with a precision born of generations. On this long jacket, the technique maps an all-over paisley jaal across pure wool, each curved motif echoing the *buta* forms that once adorned Mughal court shawls. The white-on-white restrain is deliberate: tone-on-tone embroidery asks you to look twice, to notice texture before colour. It is a quiet inheritance, worn close to the body.
How to style
Wear this jacket over a slim ivory *kurta* and straight-leg ivory palazzos for a tonal winter dressing that reads as considered rather than coordinated. For a gallery opening or cultural evening, layer it over a fine silk polo-neck in champagne, and finish with oxidised silver jhumkas and block-heeled *kolhapuris*. On cooler diaspora evenings, pair it with dark indigo wide-leg trousers and a cashmere turtleneck, letting the embroidery carry the visual weight entirely. A single pearl cuff at the wrist is more than sufficient.
Fabric & care
Pure wool breathes and yields, but rewards patience. Hand-wash in cold water using a mild, pH-neutral wool wash, pressing gently rather than wringing. Reshape while damp and dry flat on a clean towel, away from direct sunlight, which can yellow white wool fibres over time. Store folded, never hung, to prevent shoulder distortion. Place dried neem leaves or cedar blocks nearby to deter moths. Professionally dry-clean once a season if the jacket is worn frequently. Treated with care, pure wool deepens in character across many winters.
