Vardhan Lumière Polo — Butter Yellow Cable-Knit

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

Hand-Feel Cable Knit — Raised Texture Construction

The Lumière Polo is built on a premium cable-knit structure — a raised, interlocking pattern that adds three-dimensional depth and tactile richness to every inch of the fabric. Each cable is precisely formed, consistent in tension, and uniform in appearance — the hallmark of a knit that takes time to get right.

Raised cable pattern adds visual depth and tactile luxury
Structured enough to hold its shape, supple enough to move freely
Improved dimensional stability over repeated wear and wash
Significantly reduced pilling — the cable structure naturally resists surface wear

3. Weight

230–240 GSM

Slightly heavier than our standard piqué — the cable-knit construction demands more yarn, more craft, and more time. The result is a polo that drapes with quiet authority and holds its structure beautifully across all-day wear.

4. Fabric Finishing

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

5. Collar & Placket

Classic Polo Collar — Butter Yellow | 2-Button Placket with Pearl Buttons

The classic polo collar sits structured and crisp — a timeless frame for the neckline that never overstates itself. The 2-button placket runs down the center front with two precision-set pearl/cream buttons — minimal, intentional, and quietly opulent. Two buttons. No more. No less. Exactly right.

6. Logo & Embroidery

High-Density Embroidery — Satin Stitch Finish | Solid Black Thread

The Vardhan peacock emblem — wings spread wide, lotus at the base — is rendered in fine solid black rayon thread using a satin stitch technique, with an approximate stitch count of 18,000–25,000 stitches. Positioned on the left chest — bold black against butter yellow, a contrast that commands attention without demanding it. The "VARDHAN" serif wordmark sits below in matching black thread. Precise. Powerful. Unmistakable.

7. Buttons

2 Pearl/Cream Buttons — Organic Lustre Finish

Each polo is finished with two precision-set pearl/cream buttons along the center front placket — warm in tone, soft in finish, and carrying the natural iridescence of genuine pearl. Against the butter yellow fabric, they disappear into the design — present only when you look closely. That is the point.

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 cable pattern — perfectly matched at all seams, 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. Designed to be worn with high-waisted trousers, tailored skirts, or wide-leg pants — a silhouette that is effortlessly put-together without trying. Short puff sleeves add a touch of femininity that is never fussy.

The collar speaks. The silence listens.
