Balcao Stories Susegad Shirt Dress (Red Chair)

There are few things that rank as high up on the joy-o-meter as just stretching out on a comfy chair in the balcao while familiar voices and gentle breeze fill the air. It’s clear that the value of the typical Goan porch extends far beyond its architectural history — over time it’s become a quiet witness to seasons and stories. The artist sets out to capture the essence of what it means to have this slice of tropical life that’s so personal to Goa — look out for the old windows, a fresh pineapple on the breakfast table, the light fixture and the ample green cover. These creative details make up most of the story on this easy shirt dress. The colours and print symbolise the beautiful harmony between the old and new and the indoors and outdoors, making this one not just another dress but one that tells a tale
