The Shab Silk Shirt draws from the quiet richness of a night sky. Deep blue silk holds a scattering of small white motifs, each embroidered by hand. Their delicate rhythm moves across the body, sleeves and collar, catching the eye like distant points of light against the darkness.
At the centre, a calla lily unfolds through intricate beadwork. Its deep pink and mauve form curls around a pale centre, with fine golden edges following the flower’s distinctive contours. An elongated leaf and curved stem extend down the front, giving the composition a graceful, vertical movement. Closely placed beads trace the flower’s surface, bringing texture and dimension to its sculptural shape.
The silk lends movement to every detail. As its folds shift, the blue deepens and brightens around the embroidery, while the beaded lily holds its form. Shab brings these different expressions of handwork together: the small, repeated stitch and the carefully composed flower, each given its own presence within the garment.
FABRIC : Fine Silk Fabric—a smooth, fluid silk in a rich midnight-blue tone with a natural lustre. Its surface catches light through the folds, revealing depth in the colour and lending a soft, flowing drape to the silhouette.
ARTWORK & DETAILS : A large calla lily forms the central artwork, created by hand through detailed bead embroidery. Deep pink and mauve tones shape its curled form, outlined with golden accents around a pale centre. An elongated leaf and sweeping stem carry the composition towards the hem. Small white motifs are individually embroidered by hand across the body, sleeves and collar, creating a delicate all-over pattern against the blue silk.
SHAPE : Designed with a generous open collar, dropped shoulders and long sleeves finished with wide cuffs. The relaxed, hip-length body gives the elongated floral artwork room to extend down the front. A buttoned front and gently curved hem complete the silhouette, allowing the silk to fall softly over the waistband.
FIT : Relaxed and slightly oversized, with a soft drape through the body and sleeves. The shirt is designed to fall naturally rather than sit rigidly against the frame. Size up for a more exaggerated, fluid fit.
MODEL : Model is 5'10" wearing Medium. Styled directly against the skin with wide-leg trousers.
MAN HOURS : It takes approximately 12-15 days to create the Shab Silk Shirt. Every white motif is embroidered by hand, while the central calla lily is built bead by bead. The flower’s curved form, fine borders, elongated leaf and stem require careful placement and patient detailing. Slight variations in embroidery, beadwork and texture are evidence of the human hands behind every piece.
CUSTOMISATION OPTION : Conscious of our environmental responsibility, Insane Shell is a 100% made-to-order brand. Every piece ordered through our website is created specifically for you. Our standard size chart is designed to accommodate a wide range of body types. If you require alterations, select the CUSTOM option while placing your order, and our team will contact you for the necessary measurements and details.
PLEASE NOTE : Due to the handmade nature of the embroidery and beadwork, no two shirts will be completely identical. Minor variations are inherent to the process and make every piece unique. This shirt belongs to a limited-edition collectible collection. Once it is sold out, it will never be produced or restocked again.
DELIVERY TIMELINE : Every piece is made only after an order has been placed. Your shirt will require approximately 3-15 days for production and dispatch, followed by the applicable delivery time for your location. We remain committed to a made-to-order model because we believe clothing should be created with intention—not produced in excess.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS : Professional dry cleaning only. Do not wash, wring or iron directly over the hand embroidery or beadwork. Store the shirt carefully without placing heavy garments over the embellished flower, and keep it away from sharp objects and rough surfaces.
EXCHANGE & RETURN : We offer a free exchange within 30 days of delivery in case of sizing issues or damage. We do not accept returns because every garment is created specifically for its wearer. When a made-to-order piece is returned or left unaccepted, it risks becoming waste—and that is something we do not wish to promote.
