House of Don
True luxury is an art form—one that begins with vision, craftsmanship, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. At Don Paloma, we celebrate the intersection of artistry and fashion, where hand-painted works of art are transformed into timeless pieces of wearable luxury. Each design starts in the hands of master artists, whose brushstrokes bring depth, movement, and soul to our creations. These artworks are then meticulously transferred onto the world’s finest Indian silk, blending centuries-old craftsmanship with modern refinement. The result? A silk shirt that isn’t just worn—it’s collected, admired, and lived in.
Our Silk
Sourced from the pristine valleys of Jammu and Kashmir at the base of the Himalayas, our silk begins as the finest natural fibers, carefully harvested from silkworm cocoons. These delicate threads undergo a meticulous process, first being spun into raw silk before skilled artisans weave them into twill fabric. Twill weaving, a technique perfected over generations in this region, creates a luxurious texture with a soft drape and subtle sheen, enhancing both durability and elegance. Each thread is carefully interlaced in a diagonal pattern, giving the fabric its signature strength and smooth finish. This intricate craftsmanship takes place in workshops where tradition meets precision, ensuring every yard of silk embodies the artistry of its origins. The result is a fabric of unparalleled refinement—lightweight, breathable, and effortlessly sophisticated.
Once the silk twill is meticulously woven, it undergoes a modern transformation through advanced dye sublimation to create our signature solid and printed shirts. Using eco-friendly dyes, the fabric is first treated to ensure deep, even color absorption, resulting in rich, long-lasting solid hues. For our prints, high-resolution digital printing technology precisely infuses intricate patterns onto the silk, preserving the fabric’s breathability and soft texture. This process allows for vibrant, detailed designs with minimal water waste, combining traditional craftsmanship with sustainable innovation. The result is a flawless, high-quality finish that enhances the natural beauty of the silk, making each shirt a work of art in both style and substance.
The Art of Design
Design is more than aesthetics—it’s an artistic journey. We work with skilled artists who paint original pieces on canvas, capturing the essence of our brand through brushstrokes and color. These works of art are then carefully transferred onto our silk garments, transforming each piece into a wearable masterpiece. This seamless blend of fine art and fashion ensures that every Don Paloma creation is not just clothing, but a statement of elegance, individuality, and craftsmanship.
