Our Myra Hand Embroidered Cotton Vest is a quietly luxurious expression of craftsmanship, texture, and individuality. Hand embroidered in India and created as a true one-of-a-kind piece, Myra features a long, graceful silhouette covered in intricate florals, paisley-inspired forms, and scrolling botanical motifs. Soft shades of blush, sage, powder blue, muted coral, ivory, and gold are worked against a warm neutral cotton taupe ground, giving the vest a beautifully aged, almost heirloom quality. The sleeveless shape, softly structured collar, and delicate tie front make it elegant and easy to layer, while allowing the extraordinary embroidery to remain the focus.
India’s textile traditions have long celebrated the art of transforming cloth through hand embroidery, with generations of artisans using needle and thread to create pieces rich in texture, symbolism, and character. Myra carries that spirit beautifully. The embroidery has a wonderful depth and intricacy that rewards a closer look, with subtle variations in the stitching that reveal the presence of the human hand. Rather than feeling overly perfect or manufactured, it feels personal—something created slowly and thoughtfully, with each detail contributing to its distinctive beauty.
For Jean Marie, India has always been deeply connected to her love of textiles, color, and artisanal craftsmanship. Born in Calcutta, she has long been inspired by garments that carry a sense of place and history while remaining effortless to wear today. Myra reflects that philosophy perfectly. Its softer palette gives it an understated sophistication, while its abundant handwork makes it anything but ordinary—a piece that feels collected, artistic, and timeless.
Wear Myra over one of our beautiful long tunics for an elegant, layered Pax Philomena look, or style it with a simple ivory blouse and wide-leg trousers for relaxed sophistication. It is equally beautiful over a flowing dress, with flat sandals and artisan jewelry, or layered over denim for a more casual approach. Because there is only one, Myra offers something increasingly rare: a garment with genuine individuality, designed to be worn, treasured, and made entirely your own.
