Kurtas were originally designed for the hot and humid climate of India and other South Asia regions. However, today they are worn for their fashion aesthetic: as wonderful summer tops, beach cover-ups and holiday gear which is cool and casual. Our Kurtas are made from 100% cotton muslin. Each design is hand carved into a wooden block which is dipped into dye and pressed onto the cloth by hand. This ancient Indian art requires great skill and precision and much of the beauty of the fabrics lies in the subtle colour and pattern variations found on every metre. Imperfections are normal and define the authenticity of a process 100 % completed by hand.
