The cloth

Handloom Cotton

Pit-loom cotton with a faint irregularity in the weft. It breathes in a way mill cotton cannot.

Description

A short kurta dyed with madder root, which gives a brick red that sits somewhere between terracotta and rust depending on the light. Round neck, quarter sleeve, straight hem. Sold on its own.

Model is 5'5" and wears a size M

Fabric & care

Our handloom cotton comes off pit looms in Bhagalpur, where the weaver sits below floor level with their feet in a trench. The rhythm is slower than a power loom by an order of magnitude — roughly six metres a day against sixty. What you get for that time is a cloth with a slight unevenness in the weft, which is why it falls softly instead of standing away from the body, and why it takes natural dye unevenly and beautifully.

Hand wash separately in cold water for the first three washes. Dry in shade. Steam rather than press.
