Mehrang Gilet

A celebration of India's rich textile heritage, the Mehrang Gilet brings together the timeless language of Ajrakh with contemporary tailoring. 

Crafted in luxurious Modal Silk, the sleeveless silhouette is elevated by a softly sculpted lapel collar, lending the garment a refined, tailored character. The front fastens with a concealed clasp, allowing the artistry of the design to remain uninterrupted while creating a clean, flattering line.

The front showcases Striped Ajrakh panels, where rhythmic stripes frame the silhouette with quiet sophistication. Delicate hand embroidery accentuates every panel, creating subtle texture and depth without overwhelming the intricate beauty of the hand block-printed textile.

The true statement, however, lies at the back.

A striking vertical panel in Bagru red is adorned with three meticulously hand-embroidered circular motifs, framed by traditional Ajrakh borders that celebrate centuries of Indian textile artistry. Every motif has been embroidered entirely by hand, making the back as captivating as the front a detail reserved for garments designed to be admired from every angle.

Each Mehrang Gilet requires approximately 28 hours of meticulous hand embroidery and tailoring, where skilled artisans patiently embellish every motif before the garment is assembled. It is this commitment to craftsmanship that lends the piece its unmistakable richness and individuality.

The beauty of the Mehrang Gilet lies in its remarkable versatility. Layer it over an understated kurta set, a flowing dress, a linen co-ord, a saree, or contemporary separates, and it instantly becomes the defining element of your ensemble. Rather than competing with your wardrobe, it enriches it, offering endless styling possibilities across seasons and celebrations.

Designed to be cherished for years rather than occasions, the Mehrang Gilet is an heirloom-inspired layer that seamlessly bridges tradition and modernity.
