About Statement Jackets & Layers
These aren't your typical stiff, formal jackets. I make them with a relaxed fit because I want you to actually move, eat, and breathe while you're wearing them. Most of my pieces are crafted from breathable silk or cotton-silk blends, meaning you can wear them over a simple dress or jeans without feeling weighed down. Think of them as the easiest way to elevate a basic outfit into something that feels special, without needing to over-accessorize.
Heritage Meets Modern
I love working with Banarasi brocades and handwoven silks because they carry so much history, but I never want them to feel like costumes. My jackets are cut with contemporary silhouettes—often boxy, cropped, or slightly oversized—so they sit easily over a camisole or a simple shift dress.
The Third Piece Philosophy
If you follow me, you know I am big on the third piece rule. A jacket, a shrug, or a light layer is exactly what turns a boring daily look into a thoughtful outfit. My festive jackets have that heavy Zardosi handwork and rich gold motifs, perfect for wedding guest looks or Diwali parties. Then, I also have lighter, art-inspired prints for when you are just meeting friends for coffee.
Sustainable & Slow
Every piece you see here is made by my team of karigars. We do not do mass production. When you order, we focus on the fabric's drape and the quality of the finish. No harsh lining that makes you sweat, just thoughtful construction.
Styling Help
Not sure how to layer? I am happy to chat about what will go best with that dress you already own. We can always look at customizing the length or the fit to match your specific style.
Wasabi
Hi, I am Shilpa. I believe a jacket should be the easiest part of your outfit, not the one that restricts you. I design these pieces to bridge that gap between tradition and comfort, so you feel put-together without trying too hard.
