A SIMPLE GUIDE
Each fabric has its own rhythm. Use these quick notes to match comfort, occasion and care.
Choose Cotton, Mulmul or Muslin. They feel breathable against the skin and work beautifully for daytime kurtas and easy sets.
Modal and Rayon create a softer fall with more movement—ideal for relaxed fits, flowing kurtas and versatile day-to-evening pieces.
Chanderi brings a delicate sheen and elevated presence. Style it for festive gatherings, intimate occasions and thoughtful gifts.
Turn garments inside out, use a mild detergent and wash gently in cold water. Dry in shade and store Chanderi pieces folded in soft cotton cloth.
