TrimElastic waistband, Drawstring
OriginMelukote, Karnataka
Sowed, harvested, spun, and woven entirely by hand by communities across Karnataka. Unlike commercial cotton, which has been selectively cultivated to remove variation in color, this cotton is unique for its naturally brown shade. This is just one of the many shades that cotton can have.

Hand wash individually or with like colours in cold water with a pH-neutral detergent. Machine washing on a gentle cycle with like colours is also fine. Dry cleaning is always acceptable.

Hang dry away from prolonged direct sunlight. Natural dyes do fade with sun exposure — shade drying simply slows the process, giving you more control over how the garment evolves.

These garments are made using techniques practiced for hundreds — if not thousands — of years, long before modern laundry machines and chemical detergents. A little more care returns a lot more life.

Measurements are of the flat garment. Size up if between sizes.
