Royal Blue Dress Shirt | Lotus Stem Silk
Tap an icon above to learn its story.
Material: Lotus Stem Silk. Edition: 1 of 10 pieces. This piece is made with 10 verified sustainability commitments. Every component — from buttons to lining to packaging — is chosen for craft, traceability, and sustainability.
Hand-harvested from lotus stems and rolled into thread within 24 hours of picking — one of the rarest, most labour-intensive fibres on earth, woven into a fabric light enough to breathe with you.
Lotus Stem SilkEvery workshop we work with is visited in person, paid above living wage, and never subcontracted without inspection — conditions of collaboration, not policy.
Ethical PracticesWhen a piece is ready to move on, our own Delhi studio decides its next life — repaired, upcycled, returned to fibre, or donated — so nothing we make ends as landfill by default.
Project UpcycleOur box is pressed from pre-consumer cotton offcuts, not wood pulp — cloth before it was ever cardboard, using roughly half the water a virgin-fibre box would need.
Tree-Free PackEvery colour on a House of Parvi piece, printed or dyed, comes from the same GOTS-certified ink — one certified chemistry, however the design calls for it to meet the cloth.
Sustainable DyesEvery hang tag is seed-embedded paper, printed with soy ink and tied with hemp cord — soak it, plant it, and it becomes something green instead of landfill.
Seed Paper TagThe back-neck label and side-seam washcare tag are printed on GOTS-certified organic cotton, audited annually at the vendor level — we name exactly which layer of the standard is ours to hold.
GOTS CertifiedEvery seam is cut with extra allowance built in from the first pattern, so a tailor can release it later — one quiet decision, applied to every piece we cut.
Room to GrowThe hidden structure that gives a collar its set and a hem its fall — plant-derived viscose instead of petroleum foam, so the garment's architecture biodegrades with it at the end.
Viscose InterliningHand-thrown from natural clay, kiln-fired, and hand-painted with food-grade colour — two holes instead of four, with HOP debossed on the back where only you will see it.
Clay ButtonsDescription
A royal blue men's dress shirt in lotus stem silk, cut for an easy shoulder and a relaxed body with a classic collar that sits well open or closed.
Lotus stem silk is spun from fibre drawn by hand within twenty-four hours of harvest, so it breathes like linen while carrying more weight than cotton.
Wears with soft tailoring for evening, or alone over trousers in warm weather. Dry clean only. Fully biodegradable, made without plastic or animal fibre. Made as a limited edition.
Note: the word 'silk' here describes this fabric's drape and feel — it's a 100% plant-based fibre, not silk in the regulated textile sense (no silkworms involved).
Care Ritual
Dry Clean only and entrust it to a professional dry cleaner when needed.
