Chandigarh Shirt - Kala Cotton - Drift

Our take on a classic button up. Beautiful detailing and construction with statement oversized sleeves, classic cuffs, chest pockets, and pleats in the back. Unisex and looks great tucked into high waisted pants. If you like the Shimoga shirt, you will love this top!

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.

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.
