about the piece,

Description

There are landscapes that live in the hands of those who have worked them for generations, and this cape jacket carries something of that patience. Woven from pure wool in a warm savannah tan, it arrives from Kashmir, where the needle has long been considered as expressive as the loom. The paisleys embroidered across its surface follow a lineage of motifs that have moved between Mughal courts and mountain valleys, each curve deliberate, each repetition a quiet conversation with tradition. The wool itself is substantial without heaviness, the kind of fabric that holds its shape through an afternoon in the hills as readily as an evening indoors. Front pockets, set cleanly into the silhouette, speak to a garment designed for living in rather than merely admiring. The cape cut lends the whole piece an ease that feels contemporary without discarding its origins. Wear it over a fine cotton kurta in ivory or deep madder for occasions that call for effortless grace. It travels well as a layer through the transitional months, equally at home in a walled city and a modern drawing room.

the story,

Behind this piece

Kashmir's cape tradition draws from centuries of courtly wool culture, where artisans transformed raw Himalayan fleece into garments worthy of emperors. The paisley, known locally as the buta, originated as a stylised mango or flame motif and travelled from Kashmiri shawl-weaving into embroidery traditions that remain alive in the Valley today. This jacket carries that lineage in its needle-worked paisleys, rendered against a savannah-tan ground that recalls the warm ochres of autumn chinar forests. Pure wool from these highlands brings natural insulation, drape, and a quiet authority that synthetic fibres cannot replicate.

How to style

For a considered weekend look, pair this cape jacket over a straight-cut ivory kurta with wide-leg cream palazzos and kolhapuri sandals. In cooler months, layer it above a fine wool polo-neck in rust or tobacco and add slim churidar trousers with leather juttis. For an evening gathering, wear it over a silk slip dress in deep bottle-green, cinch the silhouette loosely with a hand-block-printed dupatta, and finish with silver filigree earrings from Odisha and pointed-toe mules. Each combination allows the embroidery to remain the conversation.

Fabric & care

Pure Himalayan wool is resilient but rewards careful handling. Dry-clean is the preferred method for preserving the embroidered paisleys and the fabric's natural lanolin finish. If hand-washing at home, use cool water below 30 degrees Celsius with a mild, ph-neutral wool wash, never wringing or twisting the cloth. Press out water gently and dry flat on a clean towel away from direct sunlight or heat. Store folded, never hung, to prevent shoulder distortion. Place cedar blocks or dried neem leaves nearby to deter moths. Properly stored, pure wool improves subtly with each careful season.

Frequently asked

Each piece is hand-picked from artisan clusters we work with directly across India. Some are handloomed on traditional pit looms, others use block-printing, hand-embroidery, or heritage techniques passed down through generations. Small irregularities are part of the character — not a defect.
