What does the Shibori pattern look like on this kurta?
Cream streaks run vertically down the body of the kurta, created by binding the cotton before dyeing so those areas resist the colour. The vertical lines lengthen the frame and look striking without any print. Being hand tied and dyed, the streaks fall a little differently on every piece.
What details does the kurta have?
It has a short band collar, which keeps it neat and works with or without a jacket, and there's a pocket on one side, handy for a phone or keys through the day. The streaked dye pattern does the rest, so it needs no extra embellishment.
What comes in the set?
You get one kurta and one pyjama, both in pure cotton. The kurta carries the Shibori dye work and the pyjama completes the outfit, so you don't have to hunt for bottoms to go with it.
What sizes are available?
The set comes in sizes S to XXL, and for sizes above XXL an extra charge applies. Since it's a cotton kurta, pick your usual ethnic-wear size; if you're between sizes, going up one gives a more relaxed fit in warm weather.
What is 60x60 cotton?
It means the fabric is woven with 60s count yarn in both warp and weft. This fine yarn gives a smooth, soft texture, a lightweight feel and excellent breathability, so the kurta stays comfortable in warm weather and through a full day of wear.
Will the colour run in the wash?
Expect a little colour bleed in the first few washes, which is normal for hand-dyed cotton. Hand wash it separately in cold water with a mild detergent, don't soak it, and dry it in the shade. Iron on medium heat.
