Behind this piece
Art silk carries a quiet, democratic ambition: to bring the luminous drape of silk within reach of a broader world. Woven on power looms across textile hubs such as Surat, this fabric draws on Gujarat's centuries-long relationship with mercantile cloth production. The filament yarns are engineered to mimic the sheen and fluidity of pure mulberry silk, resulting in a surface that catches light with genuine elegance. In Dusty Olive and Russet Brown, the palette echoes the earth tones favoured in Mughal-era dyeing traditions, grounding the fabric in a history older than any single season.
How to style
In Dusty Olive, this fabric cuts beautifully into an unlined anarkali kurta worn with churidar and kolhapuri sandals, appropriate for a festive afternoon gathering. Russet Brown, meanwhile, lends itself to a draped saree styled with a contrast ivory blouse and oxidised silver jewellery, carrying quiet authority at an evening cultural event. For a contemporary silhouette, either shade works as wide-legged palazzo trousers paired with a tucked-in georgette top and block-printed dupatta, completing the look with tan leather juttis. Both colours reward restraint in accessorising.
Fabric & care
Art silk is sensitive to heat and aggressive handling. Hand wash in cool water using a mild, pH-neutral detergent, keeping the soak brief to prevent colour bleed from the dyed yarns. Do not wring; press gently between dry towels to remove moisture. Dry flat, away from direct sunlight, which can fade the Dusty Olive and Russet Brown tones over repeated exposure. Iron on a low setting with a pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric. Store folded in muslin or tissue paper, away from humidity, to preserve the yarn's sheen and prevent creasing.
