The craft
Hand-worked in Kutch — mirror work and bandhani are the two crafts this region does better than anywhere else. Dusty pink georgette takes the shisha stitching particularly well because the muted tone lets the mirrors catch without competing. Each mirror is individually secured with a ring of chain stitch.

From the founder's letter
"Dusty pink is the colour that flatters almost everyone"
Styling notes
Rose gold or antique gold juttis — dusty pink sits between warm and cool
Soft pink or coral lip balances the muted fabric tone
A single thin gold bangle on each wrist is all this needs
