about the piece,

Description

From the salt-white rands of Kutch comes a stole that carries centuries of sky and earth within its threads. Worked by the embroiderers of Kutch, this pure wool stole bears the region's signature shisha work: small mirrors stitched with devotion into the fabric's surface, catching light the way desert air catches the last hour of afternoon. A golden border frames each edge with quiet authority, echoing the gilded embroidery traditions that Kutchi artisans have refined across generations. The pure wool ground is soft and substantial, warm without weight, a textile that belongs equally to the cool evenings of Rann winter and the air-conditioned corridors of a Mumbai afternoon. Across its ten available colourways, from deep maroon to the pale stillness of off-white, there is a mood for every temperament and season. Drape it loosely over a kurta in ivory or Jet Black for an ensemble that speaks without effort. Folded over the shoulders of a wool coat, it becomes the one detail that needs no explanation.

the story,

Behind this piece

Kutch, that vast salt-white district of Gujarat, has carried its embroidery traditions across centuries of migration, trade, and memory. The mirror work here, known as shisha, is particular to this region: small rounds of reflective glass caught in tight buttonhole stitching, believed to deflect the evil eye and hold light like a second sun. This stole draws on that living vocabulary, edging pure wool with embroidered mirrors and a golden border that recalls the caravans and courts that once made Kutch a crossroads of craft. Two hundred and twenty-two Indian homes already carry this warmth.

How to style

Draped over a cream or ivory kurta set, this stole earns its keep at a winter wedding or an evening puja, where the mirror-work catches candlelight beautifully. Try the Golden Ochre or Inca Gold colourways with a raw-silk kurta in ecru and kolhapuri sandals in tan leather. For the diaspora wardrobe, layer Deep Teal or Eclipse Blue over a fitted black turtleneck and tailored trousers, finishing with oxidised silver ear-rings. Maroon reads especially well against ivory handloom cotton for a Republic Day or festive gathering.

Fabric & care

Pure wool is a living fibre and asks for gentleness in return. Hand wash this stole in cool water with a mild, pH-neutral detergent, and never wring or twist it. Rinse gently, press the water out between two dry towels, and dry flat in the shade to preserve both the embroidery and the wool's natural loft. Store folded, not hung, wrapped in cotton muslin. Keep cedar blocks nearby as a natural deterrent against moths. Treated with this care, the stole will hold its colour, structure, and mirror-work for many winters.

Each piece is hand-loomed by artisan clusters we work with directly across India. Small irregularities in the weave are the hallmark of handloom — not a defect.
