It takes 70+ hours to make this shacket. One person works slowly through every detail - layering tukri appliqué, guiding the ari needle across cotton, shaping paisley motifs that spiral like the ones your grandmother wore. The hands that hold the needle are the same hands that will fold it, pack it, and send it from Rahim Yar Khan to you.

This made to order piece is crafted with care and intention. Please allow an estimated 15-18 days to have your order processed.

100% handmade khadi cotton with tukri appliqué and hand ari embroidery. Loose fit with elasticated hem and paisley motifs, refined for summer layering over everything.

Final stock. Not remade. Not restocked.
Garment detail

100% handmade khadi cotton with tukri appliqué and hand ari embroidery, stitched by the artisans of Rahim Yar Khan.

Loose fit shacket with one-piece collar construction and front buttoned placket for a refined, versatile silhouette. The elasticated hem and classic buttoned cuffs balance structure with movement. Paisley motifs trace across the fabric, creating visual interest.

Hand-stitched Another Sect label for authentic craftsmanship.

This article is unisex. The model is wearing size M.

Care: Dry clean only to preserve embroidery and structure.

The craft story

The paisley didn't start as a teardrop. It started as a cypress tree - a Zoroastrian symbol of life and eternity before it bent into the boteh shape that now appears on everything from scarves in Srinagar to ties in Savile Row. Somewhere in that journey, it became both universal and deeply specific. Everyone recognizes it. Few know why.

The Dharani carries paisley motifs stitched by artisans in Rahim Yar Khan using tukri appliqué, a technique where fabric pieces are layered and hand-sewn to create raised, dimensional patterns. Not printed. Not stamped. Cut, placed, stitched. Hand ari work (done with a small hooked needle) traces details around each motif, creating texture that catches light differently than the base fabric.

70+ hours of handwork on khadi cotton, which breathes differently than industrial cotton because it's made differently. The elasticated hem gathers at the waist without clinging - functional, but also a quiet nod to the gathered kameezes your mother wore, the ones that moved when she walked.

Runs true to size. Loose fit through shoulders and body. Not sure about fit? Message us on WhatsApp - same-day response.

Return and Exchange


ANOTHER SECT

SECTION A: GENERAL POLICY (OUTSIDE EU/EEA)

All Another Sect pieces are custom embroidered and handcrafted to order by artisans in Rahim Yar Khan. Because each item is made specifically for your order once it's placed, we're unable to offer change-of-mind returns or exchanges — but we stand fully behind the quality of every piece.


MADE-TO-ORDER ITEMS

Since our products are custom-made after you order, all sales are final except in cases of damage, defect, or a fulfillment error on our part. This is standard practice for made-to-order and personalised goods.

DAMAGED, DEFECTIVE, OR INCORRECT ITEMS

Inspect your order upon receipt. If your item arrives defective, damaged, or is not what you ordered, contact us within 7 days at contact@anothersect.com with photos and a description. We will arrange a replacement or full refund, including return shipping costs.

NON-RETURNABLE ITEMS

The following cannot be returned or exchanged under any circumstances:


  • Custom or made-to-order embroidered pieces (all products, once confirmed correct and undamaged)

  • Sale items

  • Gift cards

REFUNDS

Once we approve a damage/defect/error claim, your refund is issued to your original payment method within 10 business days. Please allow additional time for your bank or card issuer to process it.

If more than 15 business days have passed since approval, contact us at contact@anothersect.com.



SECTION B: EU/EEA CUSTOMER POLICY

This section applies to customers located in the European Union or European Economic Area (EU/EEA). EU consumer law takes precedence over Section A where there is any conflict.


RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL DOES NOT APPLY TO CUSTOM ORDERS

Under the EU Consumer Rights Directive (2011/83/EU), the 14-day right of withdrawal does not apply to goods made to the consumer's specifications or clearly personalised. As every Another Sect piece is custom embroidered and made to order for you, this exception applies to all our products. This means the standard 14-day cooling-off period is not available for change-of-mind cancellations once production has begun.

  ℹ️  We will always inform you clearly of this before you complete your purchase.

2-YEAR LEGAL GUARANTEE (STILL APPLIES)

This exception to the right of withdrawal does not affect your mandatory 2-year legal guarantee. All goods sold to EU/EEA customers remain covered from the delivery date. If your item is defective, not as described, or does not function as intended, you are entitled to:


  • Free repair or replacement

  • A full or partial refund if repair/replacement is impossible or takes unreasonably long

Defects appearing within the first year of delivery are presumed to have existed at the time of delivery — the burden of proof is on us. In some EU member states this reversed burden extends to 2 years.

DAMAGED, DEFECTIVE, OR INCORRECT ITEMS

Contact us within 7 days of delivery at contact@anothersect.com with photos and a description. We will arrange a free repair, replacement, or full/partial refund as appropriate, including return shipping costs.

CANCELLING YOUR ORDER BEFORE PRODUCTION BEGINS

Because pieces are made to order, if you need to cancel or change your order, contact us at contact@anothersect.com as soon as possible. If production has not yet started, we will cancel and refund in full. Once embroidery/production has begun, the order can no longer be cancelled or withdrawn under the custom-goods exception above.

From June 2026, in line with Directive (EU) 2023/2673, you may also use the 'Cancel My Contract' function on our website where applicable.

REFUNDS

Upon approval of a damage/defect/error claim or pre-production cancellation:


  • Refunds are issued to your original payment method within 14 days

  • Refunds cannot be substituted with store credit or vouchers without your explicit consent

  • Original standard delivery charges are refunded where applicable

If more than 15 business days have passed since approval, contact contact@anothersect.com.
