1990s Indian Hand-Embroidered Cotton Cardigan with Mirror Sequins in Golden Ochre - S

A mesmerizing tapestry of ancient Indian textile artistry, this exquisite cardigan whispers tales of bustling bazaars and golden sunsets over sacred rivers. The warm ochre base glows like sunset sand, adorned with intricate burgundy hand-embroidery that flows in delicate vines and floral motifs across the front panels - each stitch a testament to generations of skilled artisans who transformed simple cotton into wearable poetry.

The true magic lies in the scattered mirror sequins that catch and reflect light like captured starlight, creating a subtle shimmer that dances with every movement. These traditional mirror work elements, known as "shisha" in Indian textile traditions, transform the wearer into a walking constellation, perfect for candlelit gatherings where light becomes an essential part of the garment's beauty.

The three-quarter sleeves feature the most enchanting detail - tiny bells that create a gentle, musical accompaniment to every gesture, turning simple movements into melodic expressions. The lightweight cotton construction ensures breathability during warm weather wanderings, while the classic cardigan silhouette with burgundy contrast trim at the hem creates a sophisticated yet bohemian aesthetic that bridges traditional craft with contemporary style.
