Shackets and Silk Shirts for Women

The shacket sits between a shirt and a light jacket, and it is where this collection is easiest to live in. Our shackets for women are cut in handwoven silk and cotton, worked by hand, and made in limited numbers. Clothing shaped by time, material and many hands.

A silk top here is not printed at speed. The surface is hand-painted or embroidered by hand, the cloth is woven metre by metre, and the line is drawn contemporary rather than traditional. Made slowly. Worn often. Kept for years.

How a hand-embroidered shacket is made

The embroidered silk shacket is the piece this category is built around, worked stitch by stitch before it is ever finished. On our hand-painted pieces the hours are itemised openly on the product page, in the house's own form:

  • Hand Painting: 54 Hours. 
  • Construction: 15 Hours. 
  • Fabric: Handwoven Silk. Made by hand in India.

Embroidered tops carry that work in thread instead of paint. Either way, the inside is finished as carefully as the outside, down to the hand-stitched inner label. The time is not a detail. It is the reason the piece lasts.

Choosing a shacket or silk shirt

Designer shirts for women are the pieces you reach for most, so they earn their place through wear rather than occasion. Choose an embroidered silk shacket for structure over a base layer, a hand-painted silk long shirt for a piece that reads as art, a fitted cami or polo as the knit entry into the collection. Sizes run XS to XXL, and custom sizing is available through the studio on WhatsApp, without altering the core design.

Frequently asked questions

What is a shacket? 

A shacket sits between a shirt and a light jacket. Ours are cut in handwoven silk and cotton and worn open or closed, over a base layer or on their own.

What makes a hand-painted or embroidered silk top one of a kind? 

The surface is worked by hand, in brushwork or thread, so the pattern belongs to that single piece. Natural variation is part of the garment's character.

Can I order a top or shacket in a custom size? 

Sizes run XS to XXL, and custom sizing is available through the studio on WhatsApp, handled without changing the core design.

How should silk shirts and shackets be cared for? 

Dry clean only, to protect the hand-painted surfaces, the embroidery and the natural azo-free dyes.

Does Ek Dulari ship internationally? 

Yes. Delivery within India takes 3 to 5 days after dispatch, and international orders arrive in roughly 12 to 15 days.
