Gul

“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet” — this famous line from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet reminds us of the timeless charm of the rose. "Gul," the Persian word for rose, holds a special place in Indian culture.

In India, the rose (gulab) is not only offered in temples as a symbol of devotion but is also used to make gulab jal (rose water), which is known for its medicinal properties. Jaipur, the capital of Rajasthan, is often referred to as Gulab Nagari or the "Pink City," a tribute to its association with roses. Additionally, the delightful confections gulkand (rose petal preserve) and gulab jamun (a popular dessert) are also connected to this beautiful flower.

Our silk collection, Gul, features delicately embroidered thread roses, complemented by organza scalloping and intricate beadwork. These comfortable yet stylish silhouettes are the perfect choice for winter, making them instant favourites.
