With soft raw edges, a boxy fit, and a rounded neckline, this generously cut long-sleeved top can be shrugged over something sleeveless or worn on its own. Woven with textured stripes that bring depth and character to the cloth, it drapes with an easygoing softness. A relaxed everyday layer that moves effortlessly through the seasons and pairs well with your favourite worn-in denim.
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.
Kala cotton is an “old world” indigenous cotton which is adapted to low water requirements and extremely arid conditions. It is ecologically sustainable and makes the most exquisite cotton cloth.
