Surajmukhi Gilet

Designed as an effortless layering piece, this handcrafted gilet has the remarkable ability to transform even the simplest solid-coloured ensemble into a celebration of Indian craftsmanship. Whether paired with an understated kurta set, a flowing dress, a saree, or contemporary separates, it lends an unmistakable sense of artistry and individuality.

Tailored in luminous Modal Silk, the sleeveless silhouette falls gracefully above the hips, creating a contemporary profile that is both structured and fluid. A concealed centre hook fastening keeps the design clean, allowing the handcrafted detailing to remain uninterrupted.

The front features a striking Ajrakh-inspired Surajmukhi motif, rendered in the iconic Bagru red a colour deeply rooted in India's centuries-old block-printing traditions. Concentric circles are meticulously outlined with intricate hand embroidery, while radiating black linear accents echo the warmth and vitality of the sun, creating a motif that is bold yet balanced.

The artistry continues onto the back with a large concentric circular motif, ensuring the garment is equally captivating from every angle. Every bead has been individually embroidered by skilled artisans, resulting in a tactile surface that catches light with understated elegance rather than excess.

Each Surajmukhi Gilet requires approximately 24 hours of painstaking hand embroidery, a testament to the patience, precision, and craftsmanship invested in every piece. The result is a garment that celebrates slow fashion and enduring design created not for a single occasion but to become a lasting part of your wardrobe.

PS: The price is for the Gilet only.

Versatile by design and timeless in spirit, the Surajmukhi Gilet is the finishing layer that effortlessly elevates everyday dressing into something memorable.
