From the Manaka collection, Vastra reimagines the language of fabric through the solidity of metal. Its form evokes a draped textile, yet the surface is painstakingly handwoven from sheets of metallic beads, transforming an ancient craft into a sculptural expression. The cascading folds and delicate fringes recall the elegance of traditional garments, while the lustrous finish gives the piece a contemporary edge.
The name Vastra – Sanskrit for “cloth” or “garment”, pays homage to the illusion it creates: a flowing fabric rendered timeless in metal. Both functional and poetic, Vastra is an ode to India’s artisanal heritage, reinterpreted for modern living.
