designer indian cotton tunics

Using the beauty of an ancient Mughal garden as inspiration, India's Isha Jain designs this exquisite tunic from a luxurious blend of cotton and Chanderi silk. The artisan embroiders the neckline with flowers using golden Lurex thread, then adds glowing plastic beads for an elegant touch. The tunic features an ivory cotton lining, three-quarter bell sleeves, and lateral slits at the hem.

Designed with kota doria, a light fabric handwoven with a unique checkered pattern, Ritu Agnihotri's relaxed-fit tunic is a weightless way to cover up. Crafted from a cotton-silk blend by Indian artisans, the airy tunic features a block-printed geometric pattern in cool navy and warm chestnut, and a row of adorable fabric buttons.

Experience the epitome of comfort and style with this chic, tunic-inspired cotton jacket, boasting fabulous embroidered geometric motifs that make it an absolute standout. Indian artisan Seema Shah’s exquisite design is lined with dobby cotton that is soft against the skin and also enhances the garment’s breathability quality, making it perfect for various weather conditions. Make a statement with this versatile long-sleeved, buttoned jacket that effortlessly transitions from casual to formal settings.

Isha Jain celebrates India's textile and fashion legacies with the gorgeous design of this tunic. In cool turquoise blue, the tunic is sewn of chanderi, in which a 100% silk warp is combined with a 100% cotton weft, resulting in crisp, glossy sheer textures. Jain masters hand-block printing techniques in green, blue and black to adorn the tunic with floral and leafy patterns. Green silk taping trims the cuffs and hemline. Featuring lateral side slits and three-quarter length sleeves, the tunic is lined with cotton.

Named after a city in Madhya Pradesh, chanderi fabrics can be traced back to Vedic times; however, it was not until the 1970's that the cotton and silk blend fabric was developed.

Please note that due to the nature of the raw yarn used for weaving, chanderi textures are somewhat crisp.
