Woven in Gujarat, western India, from antique Mashru, the traditional silk-warp, cotton-weft cloth prized for its lustrous face and cool cotton hand. The palest piece in this batch, cream and blush read wide against thin, muted red and mustard lines, a near-pastel take on the pattern, with the soft irregularities and horizontal creasing typical of hand-reeled silk on a narrow village pit loom. Finished with a cotton canvas back and a button closure, filled with a polyfill insert (down-blend upgrade available for an additional cost).

Q: Why does the color intensity vary so much across antique Mashru pieces from the same region? A: Each piece was cut from a different original bolt, dyed in a separate small batch on a village loom, so tonal range piece to piece is a genuine feature of hand production, not an inconsistency to correct for.
