Lapis
Top: Medium Raw Silk
Bottom: Medium Raw Silk
Dupatta: Chiffon Georgette
Lapis is a classic kurta in deep black Raw Silk, finished with a V-neckline and a delicately embroidered hem border. Traditional resham embroidery in shades of cobalt, sky blue and ivory swirls across the yoke and sleeves in graceful paisleys and floral trails, like precious blue pigment brushed across a midnight canvas. Contrast blue silk facing at the cuffs and subtle crystal detailing add a refined, luxurious touch. Paired with an embroidered farshi shalwar scattered with fine motifs and bold paisleys at the hem, the ensemble is completed by a chiffon georgette dupatta framed in embroidered borders.
Styling Tip: Let the blue shine. Pair Lapis with a layered diamond necklace, sapphire studs and a sleek centre-parted bun.
The name comes from lapis lazuli, the precious blue stone that Renaissance painters ground into ultramarine, the most treasured pigment of its time.
