Manali Shirt - Handspun & Handwoven Organic Cotton - Dusk

The Manali shirt is a classic button up with a shorter profile. We love this style for all its thoughtful details - accentuated buttoned cuff, traditional hem triangle at the sides, bust darts, and rounded collar. An easy to wear piece with a soft fit that you will reach for again and again.

Sewn from exquisite artisan cloth that is the best of all worlds; organic cotton, handspun, naturally dyed & handwoven by village artisans in Bengal. By dyeing the cotton threads before weaving, the warp and weft can be dyed distinctly different shades, resulting in a rich colour with a unique depth that celebrates the handcraft of the dyers and weavers who created it.
