In the workshops of Jaipur, where generations of artisans have translated festivals into thread, this piece emerged from an unlikely dialogue — the warmth of Rajasthani chain-stitch tradition meeting the iconography of a distant winter celebration. The result is a jacket that feels both foreign and familiar, like a memory borrowed from someone else's childhood.
Deep cocoa-brown velvet forms the canvas for a riot of hand-worked motifs: candy canes rendered in powder-blue and maroon stripes, bows in cream with crimson knots, golden candles topped with flickering ochre flames, and a solitary star suspended above a densely needled Christmas tree in bottle green, studded with dots of white, red, and sky blue. The word CHRISTMAS marches across the shoulders in oversized chain-stitch letters — alternating dusty blue, wine red, and pearl grey — while DAY anchors the hem in matching thread, framed by a thin emerald border that traces the jacket's curved silhouette.
This is a jacket built for those who collect stories as much as clothing. The velvet drapes with quiet weight, holding its embroidery like sediment holds fossils — each motif a small excavation of craft and memory. Wear it as a conversation piece, a family heirloom in the making, or simply as proof that ornamentation, done by hand, never goes out of season.
