PRODUCT DETAILS
This Mint Sage Silk Shirt is the ultimate expression of understated luxury. The light green hue (soft sage or pale mint) offers a calming, sophisticated palette, while the hand-embroidery provides a tactile, artisanal quality. This specification focuses on a standalone luxury shirt that can be paired with ivory trousers or matching silk culottes.
Product Specification: Mint Sage Hand-Embroidered Silk Shirt
1. Fabric & Material
- Base Fabric: Pure Silk Karandi or Raw Silk (80g weight). This provides a rich texture with a subtle, non-synthetic sheen that breathes well.
- Color: Light Mint Green / Soft Sage. A muted, pastel tone that works beautifully for both morning and evening wear.
- Lining: Comes with an attached Cotton-Silk lining (Shamoz) to ensure the shirt is non-transparent and soft against the skin.
2. Hand-Embroidery Details
- Technique: Fine Needlework (Resham & Zardozi).
- Thread Type: Tone-on-tone silk threads mixed with Silver Tilla (metallic wire) and delicate glass beads.
- Pattern: Botanical Vines. Intricate hand-stitched floral vines creeping up from the side slits and across the neckline.
- Detailing: Seed beads and 3D organza petals hand-tacked onto the floral motifs for a high-end, multidimensional look.
3. Silhouette & Construction
- Cut: Straight-Cut Kurta Style. A timeless, clean-lined silhouette with a focus on a perfect drape.
- Neckline: Soft Round Neck with a Slit. The border of the neckline is heavily embellished with hand-applied pearls and micro-sequins.
- Sleeves: Full-length Straight Sleeves. Features "Joint-Lace" (hand-stitched) inserts and a 3-inch hand-embroidered border at the cuffs.
- Length: Standard Long (42–44 inches). Designed to provide an elongated, graceful appearance.

Design Highlights
- Soft Contrast: The light green base paired with silver and white hand-work creates a "frosted" look that is incredibly elegant.
- Artisanal Value: Each shirt is unique due to the nature of hand-embroidery, making it a collector's piece rather than a mass-produced garment.
- Versatility: This light green shade acts as a "new neutral," making it easy to style with white, silver, or even deep emerald green bottoms.
Care & Maintenance
- Cleaning: Professional Dry Clean Only. Water-washing will compromise the silk fibers and the tension of the hand-stitched beads.
- Ironing: Use a low-heat steam iron on the reverse side of the fabric. Avoid the embroidered areas to prevent snagging.
- Storage: Store flat in a muslin cloth bag to prevent the weight of the embroidery from stretching the silk over time.
Style Suggestion
"Pair this shirt with ivory raw silk cigarette pants and silver block heels. Add a pair of statement emerald studs to contrast with the light green, and finish with a sleek low bun to highlight the intricate hand-work on the neckline."
