Collection: Waistcoats

Embroidered Waistcoat Collection

Our waistcoat collection highlights the depth and beauty of traditional embroidery, where skilled artisans bring intricate designs to life through careful needlework. These pieces serve as versatile layers that add warmth, texture, and character to your wardrobe. Each waistcoat reflects hours of dedicated handcrafting and the cultural knowledge passed down through generations.

Our folk embroidered waistcoats come in Iris Blue, Fern Green, and Russet, showcasing detailed motifs created through time intensive handwork. Every stitch reflects the steadiness and experience of the artisans who shape these designs. The visible craftsmanship gives each piece a distinctive quality that celebrates heritage techniques.

Our reversible gilets offer two styling options within a single garment. Available in Clay Red and Sunflower Dabu, they provide flexibility while maintaining the traditional craft standards that define BANJAARA. This dual design approach allows you to adapt a single piece across different outfits, making it a thoughtful and efficient addition to any wardrobe.

We remain committed to slow, sustainable production. By continuing the practice of folk embroidery, we help preserve important cultural skills while creating garments that honour their origins. Natural dyes and handcrafted techniques mean each waistcoat holds subtle variations that make it truly unique. These differences encourage a deeper connection to the piece and support longer, more mindful ownership.

These waistcoats pair effortlessly with dresses, blouses, and casual tops, offering layers that elevate everyday outfits. The embroidery techniques used in each design reflect patterns developed over many generations, shaped through cultural storytelling and refined practice.

The handcrafted detailing turns simple fabrics into expressive garments, while the reversible gilets show how sustainable fashion can incorporate practical innovation without compromising artisan technique.
