Signs of Life Kurta

Handwoven
Handloom cloth is made by hand from end to end. Yarn is wound onto the warp beam of a pit loom, the khaddi, and woven one pick at a time: the weaver opens the shed with the treadles, throws the shuttle across and beats each row into place with the reed. The slubs and small shifts in tension stay in the cloth. That is the point.

Hand-Embroidered Details
Kadhai is embroidery worked by hand. A design is traced onto the cloth as a khaka, the cloth is stretched taut on an adda or a hoop, and a karigar works it stitch by stitch in silk, cotton and metallic zari. The needle is guided by eye and by hand, so no two pieces carry quite the same line.
Crafted from Handwoven Khadar, this black kurta features colourful hand embroidery across the lower front and sleeve. The multicoloured embroidery creates a strong contrast against the black base, while a screen-printed logo patch adds a subtle signature detail on the sleeve. Finished with a buttoned front placket and long sleeves, the piece brings detailed handwork into a contemporary kurta silhouette.
