The Kama shirt is a classic button-up long sleeve shirt. It is fitted around the shoulders with a-line flare, button up cuffs, and finished with side pockets on the seam.
Made with beautiful handspun and 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.
