Vardhan Riviera Polo — Deep Navy & White Stripe 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. The fine ribbed construction adds a refined vertical texture that moves beautifully with the body.

Luxurious hand feel with a structured, 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 Spread Open Collar — Navy with Bold White Multi-Stripe Tipping

The wide spread open collar is the centrepiece of this design — a bold statement of effortless elegance. The white multi-stripe horizontal tipping is woven directly into the knit across the full collar width, never printed, ensuring the contrast remains crisp and defined even after repeated laundering. Matching white multi-stripe tipping on the short-sleeve cuffs creates a unified, intentional design language from collar to cuff. The open V-neck placket requires no buttons or zip — pure, uninterrupted luxury.

6. Logo & Embroidery

High-Density Embroidery — Satin Stitch Finish

The Vardhan peacock emblem — wings spread wide, lotus at the base — is rendered in fine rayon thread using a satin stitch technique, with an approximate stitch count of 18,000–25,000 stitches. Precisely positioned on the left chest in silver/white thread against the deep navy — subtle, unmistakable, and a mark of true craftsmanship.

7. Placket

Clean Open V-Neck — No Button, No Zip

The Riviera Polo forgoes the traditional placket entirely. The open V-neck collar drapes naturally, framing the neckline with quiet confidence. A design choice that speaks to restraint — the highest form of luxury.

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 stripe tipping — perfectly matched at collar and cuffs, every time
Clean interior finishing — as refined inside as out

9. Fit

Modern Slim Fit — Women's

Structured shoulders, a defined chest, a tailored waist, and short sleeves ending at the mid-bicep. Designed to celebrate the feminine silhouette without compromise — equally at home on the Riviera, at brunch, or commanding every room she walks into.
