aira jacket dress - kala cotton wool

Lira Shirt Dress Kala Cotton & Wool

Some pieces feel like they were always going to exist.

The Lira is a relaxed shirt dress in handwoven Kala cotton and wool — an indigenous cotton grown in the dry landscapes of Kutch, requiring very little water. The wool brings in gentle warmth and a softness you feel from the first wear.

What makes this piece immediately striking is the colour. Large blocks of tone move across the cloth — earthy, quiet, considered. But they are not pieced or printed. They are woven in, through the arrangement of warp and weft threads on the loom, built into the fabric from the very beginning.

The result is a dress that carries its design deep within it. Worn open as a light layer, or buttoned up on its own — it adapts easily, and looks effortless doing it.

The Lira Shirt Dress is part of our Bloom collection, where materials, craft traditions, and design come together slowly — much like the natural world that inspires them.

Each Aira Jacket Dress is made using handwoven fabric. Small variations in texture, weave, or color may appear in the textile.

These are not flaws, but natural characteristics of handmade fabrics and part of what makes each piece unique.

This fabric carries the rhythm of a family loom in Kutch through our Reyaan community.

It is woven by Bhavna, who learned the craft from her father - a weaver of more than 30 years. The loom sits inside their home, where the sound of weaving has been part of everyday life for as long as she can remember. For the past eight years, Bhavna has been weaving alongside that same rhythm.

On her loom, Kala cotton and wool from the Himalayas come together - two natural fibres shaped by very different landscapes. Kala cotton, resilient and rooted in the dry lands of western India, meets the warmth of wool sourced from Himalayan sheep herders.

Thread by thread, the yarn is set on the loom. As the shuttle moves across, the motifs slowly appear in the cloth itself - not printed, not embroidered, but woven directly into the fabric.

A meeting of landscape, craft, and the quiet patience of the hands that make it.
