Sulu Grant
I love to travel and look well while doing so, yet I like to travel with little luggage. What I especially love about the Sulu Collection is that the fabrics, like me, were born to travel. Owner and designer Sulu Grant founded her company, Sulu Collection in 2006 where the focus is on beautifully handcrafted women’s clothing from India, which is sold at high end boutiques in North America, Phuket, and St. Barth’s and is also available online at www.SuluCollection.
Meeting with Designer Sulu Grant in February 2017, I learned that she is passionate about design and getting the details right. She understands that women of all sizes want to look beautiful, and has created a collection designed to flatter in sizes that include P (0-2), S (4), M (6-8), L (10-12), XL (14-16) and XXL (18-20). The collection consists of tunics, dresses, maxi dresses, blouses, coats, pants, and ponchos, along with pretty accessories. Her designs are handcrafted in India with attention to detail and feature exquisite hand-embroidery, beading, tiny mirrors, and trims on necklines, sleeves, and hems to create stunning flirty, sexy, and feminine clothing.
A few of Luxury Experience’s Favorites from the Sulu Collection
Tunics
Maya Tunic – Sulu Collection
One of my favorite pieces from the Sulu Collection is the Maya Tunic, designed with a slight flare shape to flatter and has three-quarter sleeves. Made from a lightweight breathable crinkle cotton, it has a bit of stretch to the fabric and is perfect for travel as it stays wrinkle free, and I love how it feels. This stunning tunic features their signature hand-stitched beading along the collar, neckline and sleeves, with small detail work on the back. What I especially love is how well it pairs with leggings, skinny pants, jeans, or a skirt so that you can create many looks from it. The Maya Tunic comes in Black & Celestial Blue (shown), White & Starry Night, and Navy & Silver, and is available in sizes 2 – 20.
Lexi Tunic
Lexi Tunic in Benares – Sulu Collection
The Lexi Tunic in Benares cotton with its three-quarter sleeves done in periwinkle with white embroidery and trim beautifully captures the feeling of a blue sky and white cloud summer day. Simply stunning. Also pretty is the Lexi Tunic in coral.

Blouses
Roxy Blouse – Sulu Collection
The Roxy Blouse with its pretty embroidery, tassels along the hemline, and attractive trim, make it perfect to use as a beach cover-up or to pair with skinny pants, jeans, or a skirt. Made with crinkle cotton it travels well. Where will you take it?
Dresses
Capri 2 Dress – Sulu Collection
I especially love the Capri 2 Dress, which is a perfect summer white dress that has long bell shaped sleeves and comes in two styles, a boat-neckline, or v-neckline. The cotton fabric is a white-on-white with a pretty, paisley design.

Perfect for a hot summer day or night, the Bali Scarf Dress in coral red is so lightweight that it is like wearing a caress. Designed to flatter all sizes, the scarf dress comes in one size fits all. Another adorable scarf dress is the Fuji Scarf Dress, which features hand-stamped fabric.

Coats
I love statement coats, and by that, I mean coats that create a powerful entrance for you, coats that announce your arrival with style, and the Harper Coat with its coral branch-like embroidery and exquisite trim make it a statement piece for your wardrobe. Another stunning statement piece is the Norah Coat 5 with sumptuous detail throughout the design.

As always, remember that when it comes to fashion, it is not only about what you wear, it is also about how you wear it! Know your own style and have a fashionable season!
