The weavers work under master artisan Bikshapati Kolaan in the village of Yellanki in Andhra Pradesh. Part of our Menswear collection.

Details
Machine wash 30ºC gentle cycle. 100% cotton. Made in India. An age-old and complex technique of patterning cloth, whereby the pattern is pre-determined by tie-dyeing the yarn prior to weaving. The characteristic haziness of the pattern that emerges is a pleasing result of this hand process. This fabric is handloom woven. Weaving irregularities are a pleasing characteristic of handloom woven items and should not be considered a fault.
