Somewhere in Between: A New Linen Story by Manan
Somewhere in Between - Top Picks
You wear them once, maybe twice, and then somewhere in between—without a clear moment—you realise they’ve settled into your life. The fabric softens, the colours start to feel familiar, and the details you didn’t notice at first slowly begin to reveal themselves. That quiet, evolving relationship is what defines Somewhere in Between, the new launch by Manan. At its heart, this collection stays rooted in linen—just the way Manan has always approached design. The signature 60 lea linen feels almost weightless, easy against the skin, made for long summer days that don’t demand attention. Alongside it, a slightly heavier 25 lea linen brings structure where needed—jackets and skirts that hold form, yet never feel restrictive. What makes this collection truly special, though, is not just the fabric—it’s everything that happens in between.
Our Top Picks From the Collection

Xora Co-ord Set – Apricot
The Xora set feels like an easy beginning to the collection. The cap-sleeve top sits gently on the body with a straight, relaxed fall, while the curved slits add just enough movement as you walk. What really stands out, over time, are the woven stripe borders—placed slightly off, almost intentionally mismatched, so they don’t feel rigid or predictable. The pants follow the same ease. With a fixed front and elasticated back, they hold structure where needed but remain comfortable through long hours. The pleats add a softness to the silhouette, making the entire set feel light, breathable, and quietly refined. It’s the kind of outfit that doesn’t try to impress—but somehow always does.
Kima Embroidered Co-ord Set – Ivory
Kima is one of those pieces that reveals itself slowly. At first glance, it feels like a classic linen co-ord—clean, minimal, and wearable. But then the embroidery begins to stand out. Intricate florals unfold across the shirt, built layer by layer through tonal cord work, delicate thread embroidery, and subtle bead accents that catch light only when you move. The silhouette remains relaxed, almost effortless, allowing the craftsmanship to take centre stage without overwhelming the piece. Paired with wide-leg linen pants that mirror the same softness and structure, Kima becomes more than just a set—it becomes something you return to for moments that feel a little more special, yet still grounded.
Ora Block-Printed Dress – Ivory
Ora feels like a pause in the middle of a warm day. The silhouette is easy, with a relaxed fit that doesn’t cling or restrict. The boat neckline frames the collarbone softly, while the 3/4th sleeves—with their adjustable elastic—add a sense of practicality without taking away from the design. What makes Ora memorable are the playful floral clusters along the hem. They don’t cover the entire surface, leaving space for the fabric to breathe. The asymmetrical stripe placements add a subtle visual rhythm, making the dress feel thoughtfully imperfect. It’s something you can wear without planning—and still feel completely yourself in.
Sira Wrap Dress – Indigo
Sira carries a sense of movement with it. The wrap silhouette adjusts naturally to the body, making it one of the most versatile pieces in the collection. The indigo base holds depth, while the off-white discharge-printed florals sit gently across the surface, almost like they’ve been revealed rather than added. The woven stripe details on the bodice and hem create a quiet contrast, adding dimension without disrupting the flow. Over time, it becomes the kind of dress you reach for without thinking—easy to style, easy to wear, and always comfortable in its own space.
Nami Kurta Set – Indigo
Nami feels playful, but never overwhelming. The kurta moves with ease, shaped with a curved hem and soft bell sleeves that add a gentle rhythm to the silhouette. The floral motifs appear in clusters and individual placements, creating a balance between detail and openness. The pants carry forward the same comfort, while the dupatta introduces a different kind of movement with its striped weave. Together, the set feels complete—but not fixed. You can wear each piece differently, layer it, or keep it simple. It adapts, quietly, to how you feel that day.
Eon Embroidered Vest – Apricot
Eon is subtle, but it changes everything. The sleeveless silhouette keeps it light, while the tie-up front allows it to sit differently each time you wear it. The embroidery is detailed yet restrained, combining threadwork, cord techniques, and bead accents that reveal themselves gradually. Lined with soft printed cotton, it feels as comfortable on the inside as it looks on the outside. Whether layered over a dress or paired with a shirt, Eon doesn’t overpower—it simply adds another dimension.
Arya Block-Printed Blazer – Ivory
Arya introduces structure into the collection, but in a way that still feels soft and wearable. The relaxed fit allows it to drape naturally, while the hand-block printed florals bring in colour and detail without feeling too dense. The woven border placements along the collar, hem, and pockets add definition, grounding the piece. Finished with oversized buttons and subtle contrasts, Arya becomes that one layer you keep nearby—for days when you want just a little more presence, without stepping too far from comfort.
Vanya Border Linen Sleeveless Kurta Set - Ivory
Vanya feels easy from the very first wear. The sleeveless kurta sits lightly on the body, with a high center slit and racerback adding a sense of movement without trying too hard. The multicoloured woven border stripes are placed thoughtfully, bringing in detail that reveals itself over time. The bell-bottom pants follow the same ease, with vertical stripes that elongate the silhouette. A structured front waistband and elastic back keep it comfortable, making the entire set feel relaxed, breathable, and naturally put together.
Della Border Linen Jacket - Apricot
Della carries a quiet presence. The relaxed fit allows it to layer effortlessly, while the apricot tone adds a soft warmth that feels easy to wear. The handwoven border stripes and contrast selvedge details bring depth without making the piece feel heavy. A gently curved collar and oversized buttons complete the look in a subtle way. Even with its slightly heavier linen, it doesn’t feel stiff—it softens over time, adapting to how you wear it, and becomes one of those pieces you reach for without overthinking.

Sid Embroidered Shirt – Indigo
Sid is quiet, but detailed. The deep indigo base holds the embroidery gently, allowing the floral motifs to blend in rather than stand out immediately. It’s only when you look closer that you begin to see the layers—the cord work, the thread embroidery, the slight variations that come from being made by hand. The silhouette stays classic, making it easy to wear across different settings. It’s a piece that doesn’t ask for attention, but rewards it.
Arden Block-Printed Shirt – Apricot
Arden feels light and familiar from the very first wear. The apricot tone adds warmth, while the scattered floral motifs bring in just enough variation to keep it interesting. The woven stripe borders along the sleeves and back break the uniformity, giving the shirt a sense of quiet movement. It’s tailored, yet easy. Structured, yet soft. The kind of shirt that works just as well for a casual day out as it does for something a little more planned.
Haruto Embroidered Kurta – Ivory
Haruto carries a calm, balanced presence. The mandarin collar keeps the neckline clean, while the intricate floral embroidery adds depth without taking away from the simplicity of the silhouette. The full sleeves, side slits, and soft linen base make it practical for long hours, while still feeling considered. It’s a piece that sits somewhere between traditional and contemporary—comfortable in both spaces.
Sorren Linen Jacket – Ivory
Sorren is thoughtful in its construction. The raglan sleeves allow for ease of movement, while the woven stripe placements create a subtle structure across the garment. The embroidery remains tonal, adding texture rather than contrast. Inside, the soft cotton lining adds another layer of comfort. Outside, the concealed placket and statement buttons keep the design clean. It’s a jacket that doesn’t feel heavy—either in weight or in presence.
Bardor Block-Printed Jacket – Indigo
Bardor stands slightly apart, with its heavier linen giving it more form. The discharge-printed florals sit across the surface with a certain depth, while the selvedge borders add character to the silhouette. Despite its structure, it never feels stiff. Instead, it softens with wear, gradually becoming more personal over time. It’s a piece that evolves—just like the rest of the collection.
A Collection That Finds Its Place
What stays with you isn’t just the way these pieces are made—it’s how they begin to feel once you start wearing them. They don’t arrive fully formed in your life. They take shape slowly, settling into your days, your routines, your in-between moments. And before you realise it, they’re no longer new. They’re yours.
