Fresh, breezy cotton, soft to the touch, lightweight, and a joy to work with. This fabric is handwoven with a handspun warp and weft, giving it a subtle slub and charming irregularities that mark it as truly handmade. Free of sizing, it requires no scouring before dyeing, and takes prints and natural dyes with exceptional clarity.

The cotton is spun on a traditional charka wheel before weaving, keeping alive an ancient craft that values skill and slowness over speed. By choosing this fabric, you are directly supporting a small weaving company in West Bengal, where more than half the artisans are women, preserving both livelihoods and cultural knowledge.
