Vardhan Aubergine Polo — Deep Plum Tonal

Engineered for those who understand that true luxury lives in the details.

1. Fabric Composition

95% GIZA 87 / GIZA 92 Egyptian Cotton | 5% Lycra® Elastane

We source exclusively from the world's most coveted cotton — GIZA Egyptian long-staple fiber, renowned for its exceptional fineness and natural silk-like surface. The addition of 5% Lycra® elastane delivers a subtle, responsive stretch that moves with your body while maintaining a flawless silhouette throughout the day.

Exceptionally long staple fibers create a silky, smooth surface
Superior breathability and moisture absorption for all-day comfort
Natural luster — refined without being shiny
Elastane provides subtle stretch and excellent shape retention

2. Knit Structure

Double Mercerized Premium Piqué Knit

The fabric undergoes a double mercerization process — a treatment that opens the cotton fibers to their fullest, resulting in deeper color absorption, a silkier hand feel, and a surface that resists pilling over time. On deep plum, the double mercerization produces a colour of extraordinary depth — dark, rich, and completely alive. Not purple. Not violet. Plum — the colour of ripe figs, of aged wine, of those who have always understood that the most powerful colours are the ones that cannot be named in a single word.

Luxurious hand feel with a crisp, structured appearance
Stays elegant and polished throughout the day
Improved color depth and long-term durability
Significantly reduced pilling over repeated wear and wash

5. Collar, Placket & Sleeves

Tonal Plum Classic Polo Collar | 2 Dark Gunmetal Buttons | Short Puff Sleeves

The tonal plum collar is the defining choice of the Aubergine Polo — no contrast, no tipping, no interruption. The collar is cut from the same deep plum piqué as the body, creating a seamless, monolithic silhouette that is completely commanding. Two small dark gunmetal buttons run down the placket — dark metal against dark plum, a tonal contrast that is subtle, precise, and completely intentional. The short sleeves carry a slight puff at the shoulder — a feminine, architectural detail that elevates the silhouette without announcing itself. Plum. Gunmetal. Cream. Three elements. Total authority.

6. Logo & Embroidery

High-Density Embroidery — Satin Stitch Finish | Warm Cream Thread | 25,000+ Stitches

The Vardhan peacock emblem — wings spread dramatically wide, lotus at the base — is rendered in warm cream/ivory rayon thread using a satin stitch technique, with a stitch count exceeding 20,000 stitches. The result is a logo that is raised, three-dimensional, and luminous — warm cream against deep plum, a contrast that is warm, regal, and completely assured. Like candlelight against a velvet curtain. The "VARDHAN" serif wordmark sits below in matching warm cream thread. Warm. Luminous. Unmistakable.

7. The Plum Philosophy

The Colour of Those Who Have Always Known.

Plum is not a colour that announces itself. It does not shout. It does not compete. It simply exists — deep, rich, and completely certain of its own worth. From the robes of Byzantine emperors to the ateliers of the great Parisian houses, deep plum has always been the colour of those who lead without needing to be seen leading. On the Aubergine Polo, plum is worn tonal — collar to hem, one unbroken field of deep, commanding colour. She wears it and the room understands immediately.

8. Construction Details

Single-needle stitching on all visible seams
Reinforced shoulder seams for structural integrity
Taped neck seam for comfort and durability
Side vents with bar tacks for ease of movement
Tonal construction — all seams and finishing in matching plum thread
Clean interior finishing — as refined inside as out

9. Fit

Slim Fit — Women's

Structured shoulders with a slight puff, a defined chest, a tailored waist, and short sleeves ending at the mid-bicep. The slim fit amplifies the tonal plum — one unbroken field of deep colour from collar to hem, the cream peacock the only accent in a composition of absolute restraint. Deep plum has always been the colour of those who have already arrived. This polo makes the arrival unforgettable.

~VARDHAN

Deep. Tonal. Entirely hers. The colour of those who have always known.
