Woven Flowers Two Ply Fashion Mask with Cotton-Backing from Jaipur
Dry clean only. Store folded in a soft muslin pouch away from direct sunlight to keep the sheen alive.
Description
There are flowers that bloom not in gardens but on looms, and this mask carries a quiet garden of its own. Crafted in Jaipur, a city long acquainted with colour and courtly ornament, this two-ply fashion mask is woven in art silk, a fabric that catches light with the gentle warmth of natural fibres while offering the vivid saturation that Rajasthani textile traditions have always celebrated. The floral weave sits close and deliberate on the surface, recalling the buti motifs that have travelled from Mughal manuscripts into the hands of generations of local artisans. A soft cotton backing rests against the skin, tempering the silk's lustre with something more reassuring. Available in a deep purple paired with green and a vivid red with green, each combination speaks to the chromatic confidence that defines Jaipur's palette. Wear it against an ivory cotton kurta on an unhurried afternoon, or let it punctuate a formal silk ensemble the way a good brooch once did. The mask becomes, in either case, not a precaution but an adornment.

Behind this piece
Jaipur has long been a city where colour is a language. The woven floral motifs on this two-ply mask draw from the region's centuries-old tradition of art silk weaving, where the loom is set up not merely for function but for ornament. The brocade-style floral patterns echo the vocabulary of Rajasthani textile arts, carrying the sensibility of jamdani-influenced handwork into a contemporary form. The pairing of purple with green and red with green reflects the Jaipur weaver's confidence with bold, regal contrast, a confidence inherited from a city that has always dressed for ceremony.
How to style
In purple-green, wear this mask with a violet Banarasi silk saree draped in the Rajasthani style, finished with antique silver jewellery and juttis in deep plum. For festive evenings, the red-green colourway complements a Kanjeevaram silk saree in emerald, with temple-motif gold earrings. For a contemporary look, pair the red-green mask with an ivory Lucknowi chikankari kurta set at a daytime celebration. Both colourways work beautifully for weddings, puja gatherings, and formal family occasions where the entire ensemble is considered from head to face.
Fabric & care
Art silk, though luminous, rewards gentle handling. Hand wash this mask in cool water with a mild, ph-neutral detergent; never wring or scrub the woven surface, as the floated threads are delicate. Rinse thoroughly and press flat between two clean cotton towels to remove moisture. Dry in shade to preserve the depth of the silk's colour. The cotton backing may be ironed on a low setting with a pressing cloth placed over the art silk face. Store flat or loosely rolled, away from direct light, to prevent colour fade over time.
