Vardhan Cacao Polo — Chocolate Brown & Cream Open Collar

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 Ribbed 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 chocolate brown, the double mercerization produces a richness of tone that is impossible to replicate at lesser quality levels.

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

3. Weight

220–230 GSM

Carefully calibrated to strike the perfect balance between substance and comfort — heavy enough to drape with authority, light enough to breathe in warm climates.

4. Fabric Finishing

✔ Bio Wash
✔ Silicone Softener Finish
✔ Enzyme Wash
✔ Anti-Pilling Finish
✔ Compact Pre-Shrink Treatment

5. Collar & Cuffs

Wide Oversized Spread Collar — Cream/Ivory | Open V-Neck | Cream Cuff Tipping

The wide oversized cream/ivory spread collar is the soul of the Cacao Polo — a bold, architectural contrast against the deep chocolate brown body that stops the eye and holds it. The open V-neck requires no buttons, no zip — the collar simply drapes, naturally and effortlessly, framing the neckline with quiet drama. Matching cream/ivory cuff tipping on the short sleeves completes the design language — collar to cuff, unified and intentional.

6. Logo & Embroidery

High-Density Embroidery — Satin Stitch Finish | Cream/Ivory Thread

The Vardhan peacock emblem — wings spread wide, lotus at the base — is rendered in fine cream/ivory rayon thread using a satin stitch technique, with an approximate stitch count of 18,000–25,000 stitches. Positioned on the left chest — cream on chocolate, a contrast as timeless as the design itself. The "VARDHAN" serif wordmark sits below in matching cream thread. Refined. Unmistakable. Hers.

7. Placket

Clean Open V-Neck — No Button, No Zip

The Cacao Polo forgoes the traditional placket entirely. The open V-neck collar drapes naturally, creating a relaxed yet polished neckline that works as effortlessly at brunch as it does at a gallery opening. Restraint is the highest form of luxury — and this polo wears it beautifully.

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
Precision-aligned collar and cuff tipping — perfectly matched, every time
Clean interior finishing — as refined inside as out

9. Fit

Cropped Slim Fit — Women's

Structured shoulders, a defined chest, a tailored waist, and a cropped hem that sits just above the hip. The short sleeves end at the mid-bicep. Designed to be worn with high-waisted trousers, tailored skirts, or wide-leg pants — a silhouette that is effortlessly put-together without trying. Dark, rich, and completely in control.

Dark enough to be mysterious. Refined enough to be remembered.
