Fabric & construction
Cut, quilted and finished by artisans in Jaipur, the Pink City of Rajasthan. The plain face is pure silk, quilted in fine channels that catch the light and give the vest its structure; the artistic face is cotton, block printed by hand. Both faces are fully finished, so there is no lining on show: turn it inside out and you are wearing a different vest. Artisan prints carry the small variations of handwork: the mark of a maker, never a flaw.
Size & fit
True to size. Choose the size that matches your chest measurement. Measurements in inches / centimetres; shoulder is measured across the back.

Care
Dry clean recommended, to keep both faces at their best. Steam lightly, or iron on a low setting from the cotton side with a cloth between the iron and the silk. Store on a broad hanger to keep the collar and quilting in shape, away from direct sunlight to protect the colour.
