Monday Blues pairs a check and stripe patterned body with a dupatta in a striking gold accented blue, woven in Maheshwari silk, the handloom fabric from Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh that received a Geographical Indication tag in 2010. The same lightweight drape that defines a Maheshwari saree carries into this two piece suit set format, giving it an easy, everyday wearability.
Both the shirt fabric and the dupatta are handwoven Maheshwari silk, each piece measuring 2.5 metres. Every length of fabric is handcrafted by Indian artisans, and small irregularities in colour and weave are part of the handmade process, not a flaw.
The check and stripe body keeps things understated, while the gold accented blue dupatta is where the set actually makes its statement. This is a fabric set, not a stitched, ready to wear outfit, so the shirt fabric needs to be tailored before you can wear it.
Blue and gold is a combination that pairs easily with a wide range of bottom colours, from a matching navy churidar to a contrasting mustard or off white palazzo, which makes this dupatta more versatile to style than a single tone set. If you plan to get the shirt fabric dyed or embellished further, mention the Maheshwari weave to your tailor beforehand, since it behaves differently under heat and dye than a plain cotton or synthetic fabric and some tailors will adjust their process accordingly.
Monday Blues is handwoven in Maheshwar, Madhya Pradesh, a craft established by Queen Ahilyabai Holkar in the 18th century and protected today under a Geographical Indication registration limiting genuine Maheshwari weaving to this region alone.
Hand wash separately in mild detergent. A gentle hand wash is recommended to protect the weave and the colour.
