A Letter of Stories — One from Every Collection We’ve Created for You
Dear Woman in Her Zebein Era,
Linen has a way of holding emotion. It’s soft yet strong, simple yet meaningful — just like the little moments that quietly shape your days. Every idea, every colour, every silhouette began with a feeling we couldn’t ignore… a feeling we hoped you would somehow recognise in your own life too. Let me share those stories with you.
TROPICOOL — A Love Letter to Nature
Some stories begin deep inside a forest. With sunlight slipping through big leaves, with monkeys hopping across branches, flamingos stretching into perfect pinks, banana flowers blooming quietly, birds singing without needing an audience, coconuts piled like little treasures, even tiny stamps of everyday jungle life we tend to overlook.
Tropicool was born in a moment of standing still in nature — observing it, respecting it, breathing with it. Greens that calm you, colours that feel playful but gentle, joy that doesn’t need a reason. Nature doesn’t hurry. It doesn’t compete. It doesn’t shout for attention. It simply exists — and somehow fills your heart anyway. We wanted you to feel that same ease, that same grounded joy, every single day.
BANARAS — A Memory That Never Leaves
Some places never leave you — even long after you’ve walked away from their streets. Banaras isn’t just a chapter in our journey — it’s the soil our story grew from. It’s the city that shaped our founder’s childhood, her imagination, her sense of beauty, her understanding of grace. Every time she speaks of Banaras, her voice softens, her eyes brighten, and you can almost feel the ghats rising in her memories. The city raised her gently — with its chaos, its calm, its traditions, its humour, its contradictions — and those memories breathe life into everything we create.
Banaras lives in the way she chooses colours, the way she speaks of craft, the way she insists that nostalgia is also a form of truth. It’s not just home — it’s her heartbeat stitched into fabric.
Banaras is one of those memories. Morning aartis painting the sky gold, narrow lanes holding stories of generations, the soft weight of nostalgia that settles on your heart without warning. The scent of winter malaiyo, the stillness of temple bells, the warmth of old rooftops — all these moments stitched themselves into our imagination. It felt like going back home. Like remembering who you used to be and who you’ve grown into. Banaras teaches you that beauty doesn’t shout; it lingers.
It stays.
It warms you slowly.
It becomes part of who you are. And with this story, we carry our pride — and a piece of home — to you.
ZODIAC — The Universe Living Inside You
Every woman carries a small universe within her — her elements, her energy, her moods, her intuition. Maybe you burn bright like fire.
Maybe you stay rooted like earth.
Maybe you move freely like air.
Maybe you flow gently like water.
Zodiac came from the belief that your personality is sacred — that your presence, your choices, your rhythm, your softness, your strength… all of it deserves to be honoured. The stars aren’t somewhere far away.
They live quietly inside you.
VIVA LA FRIDA! — A Story of Courage and Colour
To speak of Frida Kahlo is to speak of a woman who refused to let life define her. She lived with wounds that would have broken most, yet she transformed her pain into colour, shape, art, and unfiltered truth. She painted her heartbreaks, her dreams, her loneliness, her resilience — all without hiding, without apologising, without dimming her fire. Her story teaches us that beauty is not the absence of struggle; beauty is the courage to keep showing up with your whole heart. Frida’s life whispers to every woman who has ever swallowed her voice, softened her edges, or carried emotions quietly in her chest — reminding her that she, too, deserves to take up space, to feel deeply, to love boldly, to exist in full colour.
Frida Kahlo once showed the world that pain and beauty can coexist. That honesty can be louder than perfection. That a woman can be her own masterpiece.
Her story reminded us of the power of standing your ground — of loving boldly, feeling deeply, living truthfully. Bright colours that refused to dim, strokes of emotion poured without hesitation, a presence that was impossible to silence. It made us think of all the women who live like that quietly every day — unapologetically themselves, even when the world asks them to shrink.
CORAL — A Whisper from the Ocean
Some inspiration comes from places that don’t speak — they hum. Underwater plants swaying slowly, coral branches growing like heartbeats, starfishes resting without hurry, jellyfish moving like poetry, colours melting into each other like emotions that don’t need words. Coral reminded us of women who feel deeply — quietly, gracefully, endlessly. Women who carry strength like the ocean: soft on the surface, powerful in their depth. It’s a story of stillness, of breath, of gentle beauty that doesn’t try to impress — it simply exists in its own truth.
All these stories may look different — from Tropicool, Banaras, Zodiac, Viva La Frida, Coral, to the worlds we built in Into the Light, the wander-filled dreams of Wonderlust, the cosy nostalgia of Monsoon Playlist, and the simple comfort of Everyday Everytime — but they all began with the same thought — YOU.
Your comfort, your rhythm, your emotions, your everyday life.
If even one part of these stories finds a home in your heart or your day… then we’ve done something right.
With love, always,
Zebein
