TWIST THE PAREOS
Roshanara Paris gives a twist to our iconic hand-embroidered sarongs and transforms them into summer attire.
This typical piece of beachwear no longer remains tied around the waist but can also be played out as a skirt, a top, or a dress. Add a belt, a pretty blouse, or tie a few knots, and here you are dressed up for dinner, in a subtle variation of earth colors: khaki, bronze, ash, brick...
Ethically made in a limited series, the sarongs contribute to the preservation of the traditional craftsmanship of Pakistan's village women and to the empowerment of their community.

Short story: I discovered these stoles more than 20 years ago during one of my trips to Pakistan. Originally, they are "dupattas", the stole that Pakistani women wear either as a scarf on the head or across the shoulders to complete their outfit consisting of baggy pants and a tunic. The dupattas are entirely hand-embroidered and the traditional know-how is transmitted by women from generation to generation. - These pareos are embroidered and dyed by hand in rural workshops in Pakistan aiming to provide employment and income to village women. - If you have any questions about this article, please contact us at roshanara@roshanara.com
