India's Isha Jain celebrates spring through bold and sweet details—the same that decorate this cotton tunic. Pintuck accents, a mandarin collar and turquoise piping add a graceful touch to this floral design, whose three-quarter sleeves and buttoned-up closure allow comfortable use.

Using a unique eco-printing process known as ouke--a Northern Thai word that means "ripen by heat"--Thai artisan Wilai creates the pattern on this lovely blouse. Crafted from 100% cotton, the short-sleeved blouse features a round neckline and a lovely botanical pattern on a turquoise base.

This sheath style maxi dress made from soft cotton voile features flowers in shades of blue on pink background, pintucks front and back, magyar sleeves, a v-neckline, side seam pockets, and side slits at the hem. Perfect for hot summer days, this versatile dress wears easily to casual events, the beach or lounging at home.

A printed mandala pattern goes all over a charming creation by Aftab from India. The artisan crafts a pajama set in a cyan tone, including a long-sleeve buttoned top and cozy pants with an elastic waist. The design also features a breast pocket on the blouse and convenient seam pockets on the pants. As a final touch, the cotton garments are trimmed with light yellow piping for a sweet accent.

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.
