Product Description

A ruffled shirt made from handwoven Mulberry silk Bandhani (binding and tightening) fabric in West Bengal.

The fabric is dyed in maku's signature color, a deep blue made from indigo dye and iron mordant, and features a simple white pattern reminiscent of ancient times.

The ruffles on the front, shirt collar and cuffs give it a classic look.

This piece is like a meeting of Western classics and Indian tradition in Bengal.

*As this item uses natural indigo, it is prone to color transfer. Please be careful when wearing it.

Before you purchase

* This product is also carried in the stores, so it may occasionally be sold out at the time of your order through the website. Unfortunately if  that the product is out of stock after you placing the order, we will contact you. We appreciate your understanding.

* Hand-spun yarn is mainly made by women in the village using an efficient modern spinning wheel called an “Amber Charka.” When the yarn breaks, it is spun by hand, resulting in neps, which is a characteristic feature.

* Most of hand-spun and handwoven fabrics are produced in village huts, and as a result, threads or grass may occasionally be mixed in. Additionally, there may be uneven areas, wrinkles, or slight discoloration caused by thread breaks, as well as unavoidable minor stains. Please understand that these are characteristic features of those fabrics.

* Depending on the material, friction during use may cause pilling or fuzziness. Excessive friction or pressure can cause a fabric damage, so please avoid such a situation.

* Please note that indigo-dyed fabrics and clothing may fade or transfer color due to friction, rain, sweat, etc. Please be careful when wearing light-colored clothing or carrying light-colored bags, or when using them with furniture.

* This product is recommended for dry cleaning. Please consult with a cleaning store.
