In the caravan cities where Rajasthan's dyers once traded turquoise for indigo, a motif traveled west to Samarkand and returned transformed — the tulip, the boteh, the endless vine. This jacket carries that journey in its seams, a wearable memory of trade routes stitched by hand.
Dusky mauve velvet, soft as evening shadow, becomes the ground for a dense tonal embroidery in bone and champagne thread. Tulip buds rise tall through the center back and sleeves, their stems flanked by feathery fern leaves worked in chain stitch. Coiling paisleys unfurl at the shoulders, and small eight-petaled florets scatter across the open front like wildflowers caught between vines — all rendered in a single aged-ivory palette that lets the velvet's plum depth do the talking.
The standing collar and dropped shoulder give it an unstructured, cape-like ease — the kind of jacket that layers over everything and demands nothing. A striped cotton lining in burgundy and cream peeks through the open front, a quiet contrast to the velvet's hush.
