Lady Maharaja's Jacket
Lady Maharaja.
Â
The Maharajas lost all their real power in 1947.
“Now all they do is throw expensive weddings for two people who have never met each other.” There is more than a hint of fury in her raspy voice.
“You don’t seem to be the arranged type,” I say.
“You don’t think?” she quips. “There I was, adorned in silk and jewels, surrounded by a dozen bedazzled elephants, themselves prisoners of servitude, and the people in the streets are working for pennies.”
This isn’t a new story. The idealist with a disdain for the .0001% (her own family).
Even the print on her jacket was rebellious. Animalistic. As if the jungle had come alive to devour the ambition-less. The ones who skated by. The ones who don’t get involved.
“My father never listened to me until I left. Now I’ve got him where I want him. Even the elephants will be free one day.”
I believe her.
Lady Maharaja’s Jacket (No. 5885). You’ll wear it everywhere (sometimes to invoke change). Great with jeans, skirts, and dresses. 100% cotton voile. Contrast quilt stitching all over. Self-fabric covered buttons with fabric loop buttonholes. Fully lined in contrast print. Made in India.
