Copal Tank - Kala Cotton - Ivory Tangaliya

A very cute tank with a petal shape and a scooped neckline front and back. Featuring wide straps with generous arm holes and great drape. A style that is versatile for many different body types. 

Featuring designs woven with the Tangaliya technique whereby each dot in the pattern is hand placed by wrapping thread around the individual warp threads during the weaving process - resulting in a cloth that is identical on both sides. Woven with kala cotton that has been thread-dyed with natural dyes before weaving.

The weavers of Bhujodi are known as some of the most accomplished artisans working in handloom today. They have a wide range of skills and can bring their traditional design sense to play in many formats.

Kala cotton is indigenous to Kachchh. It is organic - as the farmers do not use any pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. It is a purely rain fed crop that has a high tolerance for both disease and pests, and requires minimal investment. It is resilient and resurgent in the face of difficult land conditions.

Made with beautiful handwoven kala cotton cloth. Kala cotton is indigenous to the Kachchh region of India. It is highly sustainable and organic by nature, as farmers do not need to use any pesticides or synthetic fertilizers. All it needs to thrive is one monsoon a year. The final product is a desirable cotton with a natural fleck that softens with every wash.
