A boxy fit open collar shirt in a handloom matka silk candy stripe, featuring a hand embroidered Bengal tiger motif.

These yarn dyed stripe patterns were designed in-house and handwoven using hand spun raw mulberry silk waste by a master weaver in Bengal.

Matka silk is made from the waste of mulberry silk and the spun nature of the threads means that they are slightly thicker than conventional silk, but still very soft, giving it a feel that is somewhere between cotton and cashmere.

Details:

• Material: 100% handloom silk
• Hand embroidery of ‘Matka’, a ceremonial pot
• Corozo nut buttons
• Boxy fit
• Made by one tailor from beginning to end
• Hand-finished
