designer indian cotton tunics

This long and feminine tunic is designed by Shalabh in India. Crafted of cool, soft cotton, the lilac-hued blouse features an open V neckline, pintucked bodice, and lavish chikankari hand embroidery.

Cool cotton in vibrant crimson inspires Isha Jain. She designs this charming tunic with paisley motifs, created by hand with the block print technique. Sequins sparkle on the charming top. It slips over the head, and slits at the hem on both sides assure an easy fit.

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.

A graceful artichoke print adds a dapper detail to this cotton and silk tunic. As a sublime design by India's Aftab, the design boasts a soft and smartly styled top with pin-tuck detailing and a button closure on the front. Three-quarter-length sleeves with Kantha stitched cuffs, a mandarin collar and side vents allow a relaxed fit, while a lilac hue bathes the garment with enchanted beauty.
