Pure Linen Printed and Collared Co-ord set with Glass Sequins on the Neck
Gentle hand-wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Iron on medium heat while slightly damp. Air-dry in shade.
Description
Linen holds memory the way few fabrics do, carrying in its weave the quiet discipline of flax and light. This co-ord set is cut from pure linen, a cloth with deep roots in India's hand-textile tradition, where its natural breathability and understated drape have made it a perennial choice for those who dress with intention. The block-printed surface draws on the long lineage of resist and screen printing practised across textile clusters in Rajasthan and Gujarat, where artisans translate geometry and botanical motif into repeat patterns of restrained elegance. At the collar, a delicate trim of glass sequins catches light with the subtlety of dewfall, nodding to the zardozi and embellishment traditions of the northern ateliers without overwhelming the fabric's innate simplicity. Available in light brown and pastel mint green, each colourway speaks to a seasonal ease that moves comfortably from warm afternoons to cooled evenings. Wear the set together for a considered daytime look at a cultural gathering or a relaxed office occasion. The collar detail alone earns it a place at a festive lunch when paired with minimal gold jewellery.

Hand-picked pieces that sing gently with this one.
Behind this piece
Linen has dressed civilisations for millennia, and in its contemporary Indian avatar, it carries that same quiet authority. The fabric here is pure linen, woven to a fine, breathable hand that suits the subcontinent's heat with quiet intelligence. The printed surface draws on India's long tradition of block and screen-printed textiles, while the glass sequins at the collar echo a very different inheritance: the centuries-old practice of shisha embellishment found across Kutch and Rajasthan, where reflective elements were believed to deflect misfortune. Restraint and ornament, held in careful balance.
How to style
In light brown, wear this co-ord set with tan leather kolhapuris and a single strand of oxidised silver to let the linen breathe. For the pastel mint green, consider ivory palazzo pants beneath the top if you prefer a looser silhouette at weddings or curated art events. Both colourways welcome a structured cotton tote and minimal gold ear studs. The collar's glass sequins remove the need for a necklace entirely. A linen blazer in ivory layered over the set extends it comfortably into cooler evenings at literary festivals or gallery dinners.
Fabric & care
Linen strengthens with careful washing, not in spite of it. Hand wash in cool water with a gentle, pH-neutral detergent, keeping the sequined collar away from prolonged soaking to protect the thread anchoring each glass piece. Do not wring; press the water out gently, then dry flat in shade to prevent the fabric from pulling out of shape. Iron on a medium setting while slightly damp, on the reverse, to preserve the print. Store folded, never on a hanger, as linen will distort at the shoulders over time. Properly tended, this set will last years.
