Behind this piece
Mysore has dressed royalty for centuries. Under the patronage of the Wadiyar kings, the city's silk weavers refined a tradition of weaving pure mulberry silk into fabrics of uncommon luminosity. This multicolour silk carries that lineage forward, its surface animated by golden zari threads worked into the weave with the precision that Mysore's craft families have practised across generations. The interplay of colour and gold is not decoration applied after the fact; it is structural, woven in from the first, which is what gives this fabric its particular depth and quiet authority.
How to style
Cut this fabric into a structured anarkali for a winter wedding, and pair it with uncut diamond drops and block-heeled mojris in tobacco leather. Alternatively, consider a draped kurta set for a festival afternoon, anchored by oxidised silver bangles from Rajasthan. For a contemporary reading, a cropped blouse and wide-leg palazzo in this fabric worn to a cultural evening or classical music concert reads effortlessly dressed. In each case, keep the silhouette clean, the accessories considered, and let the gold thread in the weave carry the conversation.
Fabric & care
Silk of this quality rewards patience and restraint. Dry clean whenever possible, particularly given the golden zari threads, which can distort under the friction of hand washing. If washing at home, use cold water, a pH-neutral detergent formulated for silk, and handle without wringing or rubbing. Roll the fabric gently in a clean cotton towel to absorb moisture, then dry flat in shade. Store folded in soft muslin, away from direct light and humidity. Refold periodically along different lines to prevent permanent crease marks. Treated with this care, the fabric will hold its lustre for many years.
