Nira Shirt Ajrakh — Kala Cotton Chad

Every detail in this fabric is created on the loom itself.

The Nira Shirt is made in handwoven Kala cotton, where fine monochrome motifs emerge directly through weaving as the textile is being made.

The patterns are not printed or embroidered later. Each line is shaped slowly through the movement of threads themselves, creating rhythm, repetition, and subtle shifts across the cloth.

Lightweight and breathable, the fabric carries both softness and structure — designed for everyday wear across seasons.

The Nira Shirt is part of our Bloom collection, where materials, craft traditions, and design come together slowly.

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 takes form as a clean, handwoven surface — simple, breathable, and grounded.

From here, the fabric moves into the hands of Ajrakh printers.

Ajrakh is a craft that has lived in Kutch for over 400 years, carried forward through generations of artisan families. The fabric goes through a slow, layered process — often up to 16 steps of printing, dyeing, washing, and drying.

Natural dyes like indigo and madder are built gradually, with patterns emerging step by step.

There is a rhythm to this too — different from the loom, but just as precise.

The result is a textile shaped by multiple hands, where weaving and printing come together — carrying depth, variation, and the quiet time of the processes behind it.
