cotton kurtas

Made from cotton in a solid onyx hue, this feminine tunic from India is created by Isha Jain. This tunic's three-quarter length sleeves feature the printed image of peacocks, evoking traditional Madhubani art. A henley neckline with covered buttons and a drawstring tie at the empire waist complete this lovely tunic.

In light olive on ivory, fabulous floral motifs are printed onto the cotton body of this tunic from India. Isha Jain creates the tunic, its three-quarter length sleeves and hemline printed with colorful floral motifs that evoke traditional Madhubani folk art. The neckline is enhanced with red plastic beads that are added by hand.

By Isha Jain, this beautiful tunic showcases India's handcrafted block print technique on front and back. The top features three quarter sleeves, a V-neck with piping and a band of contrasting fabric on the sleeves and hem. Lined in cotton, it slips over the head.

Isha Jain celebrates India's textile and fashion legacies with the gorgeous design of this tunic. In cool turquoise blue, the tunic is sewn of chanderi, in which a 100% silk warp is combined with a 100% cotton weft, resulting in crisp, glossy sheer textures. Jain masters hand-block printing techniques in green, blue and black to adorn the tunic with floral and leafy patterns. Green silk taping trims the cuffs and hemline. Featuring lateral side slits and three-quarter length sleeves, the tunic is lined with cotton.

Named after a city in Madhya Pradesh, chanderi fabrics can be traced back to Vedic times; however, it was not until the 1970's that the cotton and silk blend fabric was developed.

Please note that due to the nature of the raw yarn used for weaving, chanderi textures are somewhat crisp.

Hand-embroidered flowers bring a touch of elegance to the neckline of this gorgeous tunic by Rishab Tandon. The flowers are created with cotton thread using a traditional and popular embroidery technique from India called chikankari. Crafted from soft polyester, the long sleeve top features a printed floral and vine motif on a bright tangerine background and three buttons at the neckline. More hand-embroidered flowers decorate the back.

Intricate flower and vine patterns inspired by 19th-century textiles grace this petal-pink tunic. The designs are digitally printed to evoke the well-loved look of heirloom weavings. Cotton embroidery along the button neckline are a nod to the exquisite chikankari embroidery work of artisan Shalabh’s hometown of Lucknow.
