BHAGALPORE · SWITZERLAND
Ten Muga silk stoles per month. For those who understand what that means.
The Object
Switzerland has an instinct for objects that are what they claim to be — no more, no less. A Patek Philippe is not trying to be a watch. It is the consequence of watchmaking taken to its logical conclusion. Bhagalpore applies the same logic to silk.
A BHAGALPORE stole is not positioned as luxury. It simply is: the rarest silk in the world, woven by a single artisan over 5–10 days, in a city that has been doing this for 2,500 years, in an edition of 10 per month. No flagship store. No advertising budget. No brand mythology. The object speaks for itself. You will have one. You will understand.
For the Collector
Each BHAGALPORE stole ships with a numbered Certificate of Origin — the stole's number in the monthly drop (1 of 10, 7 of 10), the weaver's name, the silk type, and the date woven. These certificates are archival documents. In 20 years, stole #1 of the first BHAGALPORE drop will be worth considerably more than the £650 it cost in 2026.
Certificate of Origin — each stole carries its number in the monthly edition, the weaver's name, the silk grade, and the exact date woven. A provenance document, not a receipt. Printed on archival cotton paper and sealed with a wax cartouche.
