Blush Pleat — Empire-Cut Striped Cotton Kurta

Yarn-dyed and woven in fine maroon-and-white stripes on a dusty-rose cotton, this kurta is all easy movement. A rounded bib yoke, piped in maroon, gives way to soft gathers that fall into a flared, twirl-friendly A-line, while three-quarter bell sleeves with a piped tier add a little flourish at the wrist. There's no placket or zip — it simply slips on over the head. Light, breathable and quietly pretty, it's the kind of thing you wear on repeat: to brunch, to work, to a slow evening walk. An everyday handloom stripe with a graceful swing.
