The Maya Bandhani Dot Shirt — Hand dyed Organic Cotton (Mango)

The dots scattered across this shirt aren't printed. Each one is tied by hand — a single thread, a single knot — before the cloth goes into the dye. That's bandhani, one of India's oldest resist-dyeing techniques, practiced for generations in Kutch, Gujarat. When the knots come out, the pattern is already there, woven into the story of the cloth. The base is Kala cotton — indigenous to Kutch, rain-fed, hand-spun, and woven on traditional looms. Light enough for summer, substantial enough to last. The colour shifts slightly across the fabric the way all hand-dyed cloth does. That's not a flaw. It's proof. Relaxed boxy fit, short sleeves with a wide cuff, classic collar, coconut shell buttons. Tucks in, wears open, layers easily. Available in Teal, Pink, and Mango. 100% Kala (organic) cotton — hand-spun and handwoven Hand-dyed using traditional bandhani tie-resist technique Relaxed boxy crop fit with short sleeves. Classic collar, full button front. Hand wash cold or gentle machine wash Made in Kutch, Gujarat, India About the craft: Hand dyed using the traditional tie dye method called bandhani where artisans pinch small sections of the fabric and tie them tightly with thread, creating a resist that will prevent dye from penetrating those areas.
