Versatile, unisex shirt
An easy unisex shirt with quiet character. Handwoven in a Kala (organic) cotton from Kutch, India

Aren Shirt — Kala Cotton

Some pieces speak through colour alone.

The Aren is a relaxed, unisex shirt in handwoven Kala cotton — an indigenous cotton grown in the dry landscapes of Kutch, requiring very little water. Naturally dyed, it carries a colour that feels warm and honest on the skin.

The shirt lets the fabric speak. A round neck, a clean button placket, full sleeves — a silhouette that gets out of the way and lets the cloth do what it does best.

Because handwoven Kala cotton has a lot to say. Grown in one of the driest landscapes in India, it carries a natural resilience and breathability that you feel from the first wear. And with natural dye, the colour only deepens over time — becoming more itself with every wash, every wear.

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

Care

Lay flat to dry and store folded.

Each piece 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 Manji Bhai, who has spent more than 30 years at the loom. In his home, weaving is part of everyday life - the steady movement of the shuttle and the quiet rhythm of the loom shaping fabric thread by thread.

For this textile, Kala cotton is used - an indigenous cotton grown in the dry landscapes of western India. Resilient and naturally adapted to the region, it has been part of local textile traditions for generations.

Once the yarn is set on the loom, the fabric begins to take form. As Manji Bhai works, the motifs slowly appear directly in the cloth - not printed or embroidered later, but woven into the textile itself.

A fabric shaped by landscape, craft, and the quiet patience of the hands that make it.
