In the walled lanes of old Jaipur, where dyers hang skeins of thread like prayer flags against sandstone walls, this jacket was born from a simpler idea — that love, like embroidery, is made stitch by stitch, patiently, by hand. The peacock-blue velvet recalls the twilight skies over the Aravalli hills, a color Rajasthani artisans have long favored for its depth and its ability to hold light.
Scattered across the surface are marigold-orange hearts, their chenille texture rising thick and tactile from the velvet ground, bordered in a fine ochre outline reminiscent of temple offerings. Between them, blush-pink X motifs echo the kilim crosses found in old Central Asian suzani textiles — symbols once stitched by brides into dowry cloths as marks of protection and joy. The striped cotton lining peeking at the collar nods to the utilitarian ikats worn beneath ceremonial coats.
This is a jacket for those who wear their affections openly — bold enough for a gallery opening, soft enough for a slow Sunday. The velvet drapes with weight and warmth, while the relaxed cut allows it to layer easily over knits or slip on as a statement piece over silk.
