The centrepiece is a Shaneel jacket shaped from an archival reference—a nineteenth-century Patiala khillat once presented to the royal family of Patiala. Divani builds on that lineage through dapka embroidery, hand-filled detailing and zari paani, drawing directly from the archival khillat’s Tree of Life layout and reworking it with raised, light-catching embroidery that reads clearly on camera.
A handwoven taupe kurta and moonga-silk trousers sit beneath the jacket, forming a pared-back base for the reinterpretation.
