Manali Shirt - Kala Cotton - Ivory Tangaliya

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.

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. 

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.
