Fashion is a mirror of time. And few garments reflect that better than the co-ord set. From its historical roots to becoming a staple in the modern Indian wardrobe, co-ord sets for women have undergone a beautiful transformation. At Maati Crafts, we honour this evolution through sustainable materials, thoughtful design, and timeless Indian aesthetics.
What is a Co-ord Set?
A co-ord set—short for "coordinated set"—is a matching outfit, usually featuring a top and bottom in the same colour, print, or fabric. It’s easy to style, effortless to wear, and versatile enough to take you from day to night.
Whether you’re dressing for a casual day out or a formal meeting, there’s a co-ord set for every occasion—and at Maati, every piece tells a story.
The History and Cultural Rise of Co-ord Sets
The journey of co-ord sets began in the West during the early 1900s. Women wore tailored suits—jackets with skirts—for both professional and social settings. Over time, these evolved into the sleek matching sets we now see across runways and city streets.
In India, the co-ord trend merged beautifully with our textile heritage. As women sought stylish yet comfortable attire, co-ord sets became the go-to choice. Indian brands like Maati Crafts have added depth to this trend with block prints, eco-friendly fabrics, and artisan-led detailing.
The Evolution of Women’s Co-ord Sets in India
Over time, co-ord sets for ladies have become more expressive and inclusive. Here’s how:
- Simplicity met style: No more overthinking combinations. A co-ord set offers a ready-to-wear ensemble.
- Indian prints entered the mix: Artisanal prints like Ajrakh, Dabu, and Bagru found a new platform.
- Comfort led the way: Especially with cotton co-ord sets, women could stay stylish without compromising on ease.
At Maati Crafts, our co-ords reflect this very balance—rooted in craft, designed for today.
