Details

Designed by Shashi Sehgal, this lovely set of bed linens tells a story of ancient life in India. Herders guided their flocks to graze in lush grasslands bordering the Thar Desert. For coverlets, the women created quilts of layered fabric, stitched by hand in a technique known as gudri-making or hand quilting. This set of quilt and two pillow shams is created in the same way of cotton voile.

The quilt is reversible and the motifs are created with block prints, applied by hand in blue on ivory. One side depicts foliage and flowers in a pattern named "Cool March," for chilly evenings in early spring. On the reverse side as well as the shams, neat rows of flowers represent the unbroken lineage of tradition handed down over generations. Finished with piping, the edges are scalloped and the stitching is done by hand.

A zipper at the bottom of the shams opens them to insert the cushions.

“Practical”

This is well- made of linen. I have both colors. Most of my clothes are either cotton, silk, wool, cashmere, or Alpaca so the fabric doesnt easily match what I already have in my wardrobe so for me there is less opportunity to wear these jackets. For someone with more lightweight fabrics this is a good choice since it is well made and you can dress it up or down. Only because of my wardrobe limitations do I rate it a 4 rather than a 5.

Best Uses
  • Casual wear with jeans to dress up or down

“Great top”

This versatile top can also be worn as a jacket. The delicate nuances in embroidery and silver print add to the natural block prints beauty. A much more dressy piece in reality....a lovely surprise! can be dressed up and down to suit any occassion.
