about the piece,

Description

There is a quietness to this shrug that speaks before words do. Cut from pure silk in the cool, almost Nordic tone of Arctic Wolf, it carries the unhurried elegance of Jodhpur's textile tradition, a city where craft has long moved between the royal and the everyday. The flared silhouette follows a vintage sensibility, generous at the hem and easy at the shoulder, shaped in the way that skilled hands, not machines, tend to understand instinctively. Silk from this region has always held light differently, catching it softly rather than announcing it, and the fabric here behaves with exactly that restraint. The one-size construction honours the original pattern without alteration, preserving whatever proportion the maker first intended. It is a piece that sits outside the seasonal, dressed neither for ceremony nor for casualness alone, but comfortably in the space between. Wear it over a fine cotton kurta in ivory or pale grey for an afternoon that asks for thought rather than spectacle. It translates equally well over narrow trousers for an evening where simplicity is the most considered choice.

the story,

Behind this piece

Jodhpur has long been a city of contrasts: its blue-washed havelis standing against the Thar's ochre dust, its textiles carrying the same quiet drama. This shrug draws from the Marwari silk-weaving tradition, where artisans worked fine mulberry silk into garments worthy of royal courts. The flared silhouette echoes the architectural generosity of the region, a shape that moves as desert wind moves. Arctic Wolf, a tone of pale silver and warm grey, feels entirely native to Jodhpur's cooler evenings. Pure silk holds colour and drape in ways no blended cloth can approximate.

How to style

Worn over a hand-block-printed cotton kurta in indigo or ivory, this shrug brings a considered layering to a lunch or gallery visit. For evening, pair it over a silk slip dress and finish with oxidised silver from Rajasthan, perhaps chandbali earrings, and kolhapuri heels in nude leather. If you prefer contemporary dressing, layer it over wide-leg silk trousers and a minimal camisole, anchoring the look with a single stone ring in moonstone or labradorite. The Arctic Wolf tone reads beautifully against deeper skin tones and ivory complexions equally.

Fabric & care

Pure silk demands patience and rewards it with decades of wear. Hand wash in cold water using a mild, pH-neutral detergent, never wringing or twisting the fabric. Rinse thoroughly, then press gently between two clean cotton towels to remove excess moisture. Dry flat in shade, away from direct sunlight, which weakens silk fibres and fades colour over time. Iron on a low silk setting while slightly damp, always on the reverse side. Store folded in breathable muslin, away from moisture and light. Cedar blocks, not mothballs, will protect the fibre without leaving chemical residue.

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.
