Pure Wool Long Jacket with All-Over Intricate Embroidered Flowers in Multicolor Threads
Dry clean recommended. Store with natural cedar or neem leaves. Avoid direct sunlight and moisture.
Description
Flowers do not merely grow here; they are coaxed into wool, one careful stitch at a time. This long jacket is worked in pure wool, a fabric that carries the cold-weather wisdom of the Kashmir Valley in every woven thread. The all-over floral embroidery draws on the tradition of Kashida, a needle-craft that fills entire surfaces with blooms, leaves, and tendrils rendered in multicolour silk and wool threads. Each motif is positioned with an awareness of symmetry that takes years of practice to acquire, making no two finished pieces feel entirely identical. The jacket falls in a generous, structured silhouette that is equally at home at a winter wedding and a quieter evening gathering. Available in Blue Ribbon, Jet Black, and Snow White, each colourway lends the embroidery a distinct emotional register, from the ceremonial to the quietly authoritative. Wear it over a fine merino turtleneck and wide-leg trousers for a considered daytime look, or layer it above a silk kurta when the occasion calls for something that speaks without effort.
Behind this piece
The flowers on this jacket do not simply decorate; they narrate. Wool embroidery of this density draws from the Kashida tradition of Kashmir, where needle and thread have long been used to map gardens that exist only in imagination. The all-over floral repeat, worked in multicolour threads across pure wool, reflects a sensibility refined across generations of artisans in the valley. Each colour placement is a considered choice, not a formula. Available in Blue Ribbon, Jet Black, and Snow White, the ground cloth shifts the mood entirely, from contemplative to celebratory, while the embroidery remains constant in its quiet insistence.
How to style
On Blue Ribbon, layer the jacket over a cream silk kurta and wide-leg ivory palazzos for a winter wedding lunch; finish with oxidised silver jhumkas and tan kolhapuris. On Jet Black, wear it over a fine merino polo neck with straight dark trousers for a gallery opening or literary evening; add block-printed silk stole and suede ankle boots. On Snow White, pair with indigo hand-block printed salwar and a deep teal dupatta for a festive daytime gathering. In each reading, let the embroidery carry the conversation and keep remaining accessories deliberately spare.
Fabric & care
Pure wool breathes but does not forgive carelessness. Hand-wash in cold water using a mild, pH-neutral wool wash; never wring or twist the fabric. Press gently between two dry towels to remove moisture, then lay flat on a clean surface away from direct sunlight to dry. Do not hang while wet, as wool stretches under its own weight. Steam lightly with a pressing cloth to revive the pile. Store folded, never on a hanger, wrapped in unbleached muslin. Place dried neem leaves or cedar alongside to guard against moth damage through long storage.
