Khaab Tarkashi shirt

It takes 170+ hours to make this shirt. One person works slowly through every detail - pulling threads for tarkashi, layering fabric for tukri appliqué, guiding the ari hook through cotton. The hands that hold the needle are the same hands that will fold it, pack it, and send it from Rahim Yar Khan to you. This made to order piece is crafted with care and intention. Please allow an estimated 18-20 days to have your order processed. 100% handmade khadi cotton with tarkashi threadwork, tukri appliqué, and hand ari embroidery.

Care: Dry clean only to preserve embroidery and structure. The craft story Tarkashi is architecture made of absence. The artisan doesn't add - they remove. Thread by thread, they pull the warp and weft of the fabric to create sheer, grid-like patterns that let light pass through. It's a craft of restraint, where what's taken away matters more than what remains. The Khaab combines three techniques that rarely share space on a single garment. Tarkashi creates transparent windows in the fabric. Tukri appliqué - layered fabric pieces hand-stitched in place - adds dimension and texture. Hand ari work, done with a hooked needle, traces patterns across the surface like calligraphy written in thread. Made by artisans in Rahim Yar Khan, this shirt carries 170 hours of labor across its surface. Not labor in the factory sense - labor in the sense of attention, correction, patience. The kind of work that refuses to be hurried because hurrying would break the thread. Runs true to size. Regular fit through shoulders and body. Not sure about fit?
