Dresses

The single piece that makes a whole outfit. Women's dresses in the edit range from belted wraps to button-front shirt dresses and floor-skimming printed maxis. Most sit at a flattering midi length that works across Mumbai's seasons.

Button-front, collared and belted. A one-step outfit for the office, errands or lunch.

Co-ord sets

A co-ordinated set, a matching top and trouser, is the most efficient outfit in a woman's wardrobe. It looks deliberate from the first wear, and each half works on its own later.

In the edit you'll find sets in wine, olive, chambray, rust and bronze, often finished with tonal embroidery, wrap fronts or a subtle shimmer. Wide-leg trousers keep them comfortable in the heat.

  • Wear the set together for work or a daytime function.
  • Split the shirt over jeans or a slip skirt for the weekend.
  • Keep the trousers as a neutral base under printed tops.

Tops & shirts

The fastest way to change your look is from the waist up. Women's tops and shirts in the edit lean towards satin finishes, expressive prints and relaxed shapes that pair with trousers you already own, whether flared, straight or wide.

04 — Occasion edits

Dress for the occasion, not the label

Categories tell you what a piece is; occasions tell you where it's going. Here's how the women's edit maps onto the moments of a Mumbai week.

  • a.Workwear

    Shirt dresses, satin wrap tops and co-ord sets in navy, black, olive and wine. Polished, never stiff.

  • b.Evening

    Satin, deeper colours, flutter sleeves and belted waists. Add a metallic sandal and you're ready.

  • c.Weekend

    Sleeveless florals, denim, relaxed printed shirts and the halves of your co-ord sets, worn separately.

  • d.Family occasions

    Embroidered sets and heritage-inspired prints. Indo-Western pieces that feel festive yet easy.
