r a s a i for A&S – 2025SS Collection

The new collection features a range of garments made from Mulmul, a signature cotton fabric known for being comfortable against the skin. Traditionally woven by India’s most skilled artisans, Mulmul is an ultra-light, breathable cotton with a smooth, delicate texture. This season includes double-layered tops and outerwear, as well as a new shirt design finished with hand-rolled edging. These pieces offer a light and breezy feel that is perfect for the height of summer. In addition, a selection of small fabric items—such as bandanas, drawstring bags, and shawls—will be available exclusively at A&S Zaimokuza.

Coordinated looks from the new collection are showcased on A&S’s official Instagram.

“At r a s a i, we maintain a commitment to craftsmanship that brings out the natural beauty of each material. We avoid excessive design elements and instead seek to express the character and texture of the fabrics through simple, thoughtful designs.
Our collection includes the classic cotton Mulmul, valued for its comfortable feel against the skin, as well as the ultra-light, handwoven Jamdani Khadi.
To fully enhance the feather-like lightness and translucent quality of these fabrics, the edges are finished by hand using the hand-rolled technique.
Hand-rolling is a meticulous process where the fabric edges are carefully rolled and stitched by hand, one stitch at a time.
This delicate technique creates a soft, natural curve that cannot be replicated by machine, further highlighting the lightness and clarity of the fabric without putting stress on its fragile fibers.”
