The Designer Story 

Silāi Studio redefines indigenous textiles in contemporary silhouettes with a hint of modernity and style. Dealing in contemporary casuals, the brand's focus is on subtle details and fine craftsmanship. Silai uses artisanal fabrics sourced from the Bhuj region of Kutch in Gujarat. The block printing craft form is Ajrakh, with multiple steps of resist printing, dyeing, coloring, and washing to achieve the print, all painstakingly done by hand taking about 2-3 days time to print and develop 10-meter yardage of Ajrakh. The silhouettes are carefully designed to enhance the beauty of these fabrics and to ensure the least amount of wastage. The garments are carefully tailored in Silai's workshop with a superior finish, ensuring each piece fits and feels great to the wearer.
