We are obsessed with the quiet grandeur of the Chettinad courtyards, in the Chettinad region in Tamil Nadu, India .
These heart of the homes courtyards are open to sky, anchored in tradition, and built with a scientific intention. Here, teak pillars hold airy verandahs, sunlight washes terracotta floors, and the hush of family life echoes in stone and shade. In a world of speed and surface, this space invites a pause- to feel the breeze, to sit in shade, and to honour a heritage. It is architecture in service of time.

Vintage inspired in pure flax linen, this is a linen essential wearable that moves effortlessly from bed to beach. With its soft ruffled edges and a convenient neck tie, the bolero robe layers simply, lightly, and beautifully over nightwear, swimwear, or casual apparel with equal grace.
Available in two colours, and three comfortable sizes.
We live in a world where clothes come fast & fall apart faster. Where trends change with every scroll, & fabrics, that were once cherished, are now discarded without a thought. The cost of fast fashion isn’t just what we pay at checkout. It’s what the earth pays – water wasted, toxins spilled, landfills overflowing with what was once worn only once.
Thankfully, we still have another way to live. A slower, gentler rhythm, that our ancestors walked with, & our planet remembers. Linen, woven from the flax plant, is rooted in this rhythm. It needs less water, fewer chemicals, & gives back more than it takes. It lasts, it breathes, it ages beautifully, & can create things made to be loved, not replaced.
Choosing linen is more than a material switch. It’s a quiet rebellion against waste. A return to thoughtfulness, & a small, powerful act of care for the earth, & for ourselves.
Pure linen is moisture wicking, and can absorb up to 20% of its own weight in moisture. No wonder it is the most preferred bed linen for those who sleep hot.
Being a hollow fiber, linen is thermo-regulating, and its hypo-allergenic and anti-bacterial qualities make it a safe fabric, even for infants. Linen fabric is anti-static, and ph balanced. Pure linen may feel a bit coarse when new, but it gets softer and softer with every wash, and it will last long if loved properly.
