The historic threads of India's regional textile arts come alive in the zardozi embroidery embellishing this cotton blouse. Zardozi, as originally practiced by men creating fabrics for the maharaja in northern India, used fibers of real silver and gold. Here, metallic and black stitches trace a textured medallion of faux turquoise beads and pearls on a white cotton tunic. Made in India. Hand wash cold.
Women's sizes S (4-6), M (8-10), L (12-14), XL (16).

Indian Block Print Travel Skirt

Yards of lightweight cotton stretch across a long wooden table in a textile workshop in Rajasthan. With sharp raps, an artisan moves along the table, stamping inked carved wooden blocks on the fabric. Centuries-old Indian textile traditions involve embellishing fabrics with hand block-printing. Here, this gold-hued block printing adorns a double-layered rich chocolate brown cotton travel skirt that looks great even after the most taxing journey. Roll and twist it in a ball when packing, and it comes out with the irregular folds that give the skirt its shape. Elastic drawstring waist. Hand-wash. Made in India. A single-layered version is available in Aqua color.
Women's size M (8-10, 37''L).
