Daastan

Description

Daastan takes its name from the Urdu and Hindi word for “tale,” a nod to dastangoi, India’s centuries-old art of oral storytelling. A sleeveless waistcoat printed with a parade of elephants — long a motif of processions and folklore — pairs with wide, carrot-cut trousers in a rustic, textured brown cotton for an easy, earthy silhouette.

Wear the waistcoat open over a simple tee for a relaxed daytime look, or button it up for a more structured, tailored finish.

Fabric

Elephant Printed Cotton & Brown Rough Cotton

The waistcoat is cut from a soft, lightweight cotton printed with a repeating elephant motif in cream, while the trousers are woven in a textured, rough-spun brown cotton with a natural, unrefined hand-feel — a study in contrast between print and texture.
