Vardhan Dior Polo — Deep Crimson Peter Pan Collar, Pintuck Starburst & Puff Sleeves

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. Fabric Structure

Structured Smooth Woven Cotton — Couture-Weight Construction

The Dior Polo is built on a structured smooth woven cotton — a fabric that holds its shape with the authority of a couture house and the comfort of a polo. On deep crimson/burgundy, the structured woven cotton produces a colour of extraordinary depth and warmth — not red, not wine, but crimson — the colour of velvet theatre curtains, of aged Bordeaux, of those who understand that the deepest reds are the ones that take years to name.

• Structured woven construction — couture-weight authority with polo comfort
• Crisp, clean surface — holds its shape and pintuck detail throughout the day
• Smooth hand feel with a subtle natural sheen
• Significantly reduced wrinkling over repeated wear

5. Collar, Pintuck Detail, Buttons & Sleeves

Large Round Peter Pan Collar | Radiating Pintuck Starburst | 5 Tonal Fabric-Covered Buttons | Puff Sleeves | Fitted Waist

The large round Peter Pan collar is the defining silhouette of the Dior Polo — wide, flat, and completely rounded, sitting on the shoulders with the quiet authority of a couture house. The radiating pintuck starburst fans outward symmetrically from the center chest on both sides — each pintuck precisely pressed and stitched, a detail that requires the patience of a couture atelier and the precision of a master tailor. Five small tonal crimson fabric-covered round buttons run straight down the center front placket. The puff/gathered sleeves at the shoulder taper to a fitted sleeve end. Crimson. Tonal. Architectural. Entirely hers.

6. Logo & Embroidery

High-Density Embroidery — Satin Stitch Finish | Crystal White Thread | Small Placement | 25,000+ Stitches

The Vardhan peacock emblem — wings spread dramatically wide, lotus at the base — is rendered in fine crystal white rayon thread using a satin stitch technique, with a stitch count exceeding 25,000 stitches. Placed small and precise on the left chest above the pintuck starburst — crystal white against deep crimson, the contrast of a single white feather against a red velvet curtain. The "VARDHAN" serif wordmark sits below in matching crystal white thread. Small. Precise. Unmistakable.

7. The Pintuck Philosophy

The Detail That Cannot Be Rushed.

The pintuck is one of the oldest and most demanding techniques in couture construction — a fold of fabric stitched down to create a raised line, repeated with absolute precision across the entire chest to create a pattern that is simultaneously structural and decorative. On the Dior Polo, the pintucks radiate outward from the center chest like the rays of a sun — or the feathers of a peacock — creating a starburst that is completely unique in the Vardhan women's collection. She wears it and the room sees the craft before it sees the colour.

8. Construction Details

• Single-needle stitching on all visible seams
• Reinforced shoulder seams for structural integrity
• Hand-pressed and precision-stitched radiating pintuck starburst — symmetrically aligned on both sides
• Puff sleeve gathering — precisely distributed for even volume at the shoulder
• Fitted waist seaming — tailored for a defined silhouette
• Clean interior finishing — as refined inside as out

9. Fit

Fitted Structured Fit — Women's

Structured shoulders with puff volume, a defined chest with pintuck starburst detail, a fitted waist, and short sleeves tapering from puff to fitted. The fitted silhouette amplifies the pintuck starburst — the radiating lines drawing the eye outward from the center chest, the Peter Pan collar framing the neckline with rounded softness, the five tonal buttons creating a clean vertical accent from collar to waist. Deep crimson in a fitted couture silhouette. The atelier, worn with complete confidence.
