Ai Indigo Silk Frilled Collar Blouse

Silk, with its smooth and slippery texture, demands a high level of skill to work with. This piece was carefully sewn in Vietnam, a country known for its exquisite handcraftsmanship. Featuring a gathered texture, a frilled collar, and softly flared sleeves with elastic cuffs, it's full of charming detail. The collar and cuffs peek beautifully from under fleece or knitwear, making this a standout layering piece with quiet impact.

In Kolkata, where the scorching sun meets the cool winds off the Indian Ocean, cocoons raised in this harsh climate are spun into fine threads and dyed with indigo. The result is an elegant, traditionally handwoven silk—steeped in the spirit of Japanese craftsmanship yet shaped by the skill and heritage of its origins.

With more than 100 threads woven both vertically and horizontally per inch, the fabric is built with remarkable density. Even the thinnest threads, nearly invisible when broken, are expertly joined by seasoned artisans. The result is a fabric that’s gently woven over time—soft, light, and smooth against the skin. A true expression of the care and precision that defines 45R.
