Silk, Chanderi & Brocade Suits
For the festive season
Woven fabrics worth keeping for years
Silk-based fabrics have a natural lustre that reads as festive straight away. Chanderi is light and slightly sheer with a crisp finish, while brocade and Banarasi weaves carry their patterns in the fabric itself. These are the suits many families keep and bring out every year.
Our unstitched Chanderi suits are finished with mukaish, a fine metal work that gives a quiet shimmer rather than heavy sparkle. They come in pistachio, yellow, turquoise, red, pink, light blue and fawn, each with lining, dupatta and bottom. The Kota Chanderi jacquard kurtas arrive with heavy dupattas and silk pyjamas.
If you'd rather wear it straight out of the box, try the burnt topaz Banarasi tissue kurta or the rust Varanasi silk collar kurta. You'll also find plenty of our AirSkin cotton silk blend sets here, lighter pieces that are just as happy at the office.
Unstitched suits need a little planning, so give your tailor time before the festival. Gold jewellery, jhumkas and a small potli suit these fabrics beautifully. For more celebration picks, browse our festive suits, or visit our unstitched suits if you love a custom fit.
Good to know
Is AirSkin cotton silk blend pure silk?
No, and we'd never pretend it is. It's a blend, made to feel soft and breathable for everyday wear.
What does unstitched mean?
You receive fabric for the kurta, bottom and dupatta, and your tailor stitches it to your measurements. It's the best way to get the neckline and sleeves exactly as you like.
How do I store Chanderi and silk?
Dry clean them, then store them folded in muslin, away from direct sunlight.
