A slate-grey drape in fine paisley print, lifted with gold and an ornate pallu.

Why this piece

• 
  The gold lift — gold and off-white accents warm the cool slate-grey ground, so it stays understated without turning flat.


• 
  The pallu — a wide panel of large paisley and ornate detailing gives the grey drape a dressier end-piece than its fine body print.


• 
  Blouse piece included — an 80 cm running blouse piece is attached, so a matching blouse costs nothing more.

The print

Fine paisley and floral motifs cover the slate-grey ground, lifted by gold, then open into the ornate pallu. Printed on one route through a specialist converter, the grey holds its depth and the gold stays consistent piece to piece.

The drape

Light at 425 g and fluid in the hand, it pleats cleanly and carries for hours. Grey with a gold lift dresses up for a daytime celebration while staying easy for office and daily wear.

Before first wear

The drape arrives unstitched, the form that keeps it exchange-eligible, so check the shade first. Then have the fall and pico done and cut the blouse from the attached 80 cm piece.
