• Print/Weave: All-over large lotus leaf / lily pad print featuring:
  • Oversized, overlapping circular leaf outlines in soft grey/silver
  • Fine line detailing creating a veined, organic texture
  • Tonal effect — pattern is tone-on-tone, giving depth without being loud
  • The lotus motif is a nod to Indian heritage and spirituality
• Neckline: Mandarin (band) collar — clean and structured
• Placket: Short front button placket with dark/gunmetal buttons — minimal and refined
• Sleeves: Full-length, fitted — print runs seamlessly across

Pairing: Shown here over black trousers — a sharp, monochromatic dark look

Aesthetic: Bold yet restrained — the lotus leaf motif on a dark ground creates a powerful, contemporary statement rooted in Indian artistic tradition. A strong addition to the Nayaab catalog.
