Utilising natural rope dyed indigo commonly found throughout Japan, Mulmul (or muslin) cotton layers are stitched together by hand reminiscent of traditional Kantha work. Kantha is embroidery applied to old sarees, dhotis and other garments, popularised and practised in Bengal. Also used in the making of quilts, known as Nakshi Kantha.

This garment is dyed with Natural Plant Indigo. Some colour may transfer to lighter-coloured garments worn close to it. It will gradually fade with washing and wearing like your favourite jeans. Wash separately.
