Rooted in Victorian military tailoring, the blouse features structured puff sleeves, tapered forearms, and short French cuffs, giving a bold yet cinched silhouette. The shape emphasizes strong shoulders and a narrow waist a nod to aristocratic dressing reimagined in modern proportions. -
Bottom: Wide-Leg Trousers with Retro Revival Aesthetic

Textiles & Craftsmanship
-
Blouse Fabric: Bamboo Silk
A soft, lustrous, and eco-friendly textile, bamboo silk offers a gentle sheen and a fluid hand-feel. It pairs beautifully with regal colors like Dazzling Blue, allowing structure (in the puff sleeve) and flow (in the bodice) to coexist seamlessly. Lightweight, breathable, and cruelty-free, bamboo silk is also a sustainable luxury choice.

Craft Embellishment (Top): Rogan Work
The blouse is accentuated with Rogan art a rare and intricate surface design technique practiced in Nirona, Kutch (Gujarat). Made using a thick paste of castor oil and natural pigments applied with a metal stylus, the fine hand-painted motifs (typically floral or geometrical) give this modern blouse a sense of heritage and rarity.
-
Trousers Fabric: Bamboo Viscose Twill
Combining softness and structure, this sustainable textile offers the comfort of bamboo viscose with the durability and body of a twill weave. It holds the wide-leg silhouette beautifully, drapes gracefully, and remains breathable ideal for statement pants with longevity and performance.
