Bandhni Gol Poncho Top (Free Size)

A classic poncho silhouette. V neck top with short side slits. Handcrafted in handwoven linen and natural dyes to create the bandhani patterns. Goes well with the Gol balloon pants to make it the ideal summer co-ords ! Textile Story Bandhani, a 1500-year old resist dye technique emerging from the mists of history, is translated into a futuristic aesthetic. From minuscule pin-pricks to maximal polka-dots, we’ve engineered concentrations of bandhani vs negative space for maximum impact. Reminiscent of a code, every dot holds the print of the maker: each pinch of fabric, while held between the artisan’s fingers, is individually wrapped in thread to resist the dye; an extraordinarily laborious process with a unique result. Crafted by two groups of women; one working on our luxe silks in the desert villages of far western India; the other in the outskirts of Delhi working on our handloom linen. This collection connects humble origins with an ultra-modern aesthetic: a testament to the enduring power of handmade design.
