MONSOON AIR

Light, fluid and made to move, this airy Anarkali takes its cue from the cool, rain-laden air of the monsoon. A misty grape border traces the hem, lending a muted wash of colour to the unbleached muslin. Petite pintucks detail the yoke, while a wide neckline is edged with delicate self-embroidered trim. The gentle flare swirls just above the ankles.

Before it reaches the loom, the yarn rests in water for forty-eight hours, lending Chendamangalam muslin its remarkable softness and gossamer-light feel. Handwoven, breathable and almost weightless, it is a fabric that moves like air.
