The Laksmi Breeze Kain captures the delicate yet profound emotions of Laksmi as she navigates the early stages of grief. Hand-dyed in a soft blush pink, derived naturally from sappan wood, the colour evokes a gentle breeze—symbolising the state of denial, where Laksmi finds herself unable to let go of her fiancé. The blush tones express the tenderness of this phase, where she clings to the past but also begins her journey of healing.
The kain is accentuated with a rough, natural-coloured hand-stitched detail, forming the illustration of Laksmi’s face. This artistic detail symbolises her strength and grace, even as she faces the pain of loss. Though she struggles to accept her fiancé’s passing, the flowing fabric and soft hues reflect the quiet moments of hope that begin to surface, like a breeze that signals new beginnings.
The unfinished edges add a raw, natural beauty, symbolising the unfinished story of Laksmi’s life, yet to be shaped as she grows from her grief. Versatile and timeless, this kain can be draped in multiple ways, allowing you to carry its story with you, whether as a wrap, shawl, or statement piece.
