By Isha Jain, this beautiful tunic showcases India's handcrafted block print technique on front and back. The top features three quarter sleeves, a V-neck with piping and a band of contrasting fabric on the sleeves and hem. Lined in cotton, it slips over the head.

Cool cotton in a rich magenta tone inspires Isha Jain. She designs this charming blouse with floral motifs, created by hand with the block print technique. The bodice opens to graceful pleats, and diminutive beads adorn the neckline and cuffs.

Bold, breezy, and rooted in tradition – this short-sleeved cotton shirt is a standout with a story. Featuring striking burgundy stripes brought to life through dabu printing, an ancient mud-resist technique that predates even batik. Lightweight and uniquely stylish, the button-up shirt is perfect for warm days when you want to make a statement without saying a word and where craftsmanship meets cool.

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.
