Ursinia Caftan

Details

Victoria Terminus, Mumbai.

In this century, you know it as Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus.
I’m in the Star Chamber at a booking window, arranging my ticket to Jaipur.
I observe her as she leans against one of the massive stone and marble columns that support the magnificent domed ceiling.
Hands in her pockets. Poised, serene.
A well-traveled leather bag at her feet.
She’s wearing the piece you see here. With the lush and detailed embroidery—bold ursinia flowers—it could be a jacket. But she’s wearing it like a dress. A caftan. Yes, that’s it.
Unless you wear it some other way. In your boudoir, as a robe.
With jeans and a white tank, it would look quite devastating.
Ursinia Caftan (No. 6938). In cool cotton linen with allover exquisite embroidery. Self-covered buttons at center front. Band collar. Two besom pockets. Falls right below the knee. Made in India.
