Red Cotton Bagh Printed Mandovi Short Kurta

Bagh print in a floral stripe covers this cotton short kurta, giving it a busy, handcrafted look. A Chinese collar and half sleeves keep the top simple, while the straight silhouette falls to waist length with a curved hem at the base. A button placket runs down the front, and a hand wash separately keeps the print looking fresh through the season. Team it with trousers and juttis for a festive family lunch.

Craft Details

An elaborate process of printing and dyeing with natural dyes, Bagh is a 4-year-old technique. Taking inspiration from alluring fauna and architecture, wooden blocks dipped in natural dyes of red and black are used to print traditional and contemporary patterns on fabric. Believed to have evolved from a tribal art, this craft has its roots in the Bagh district of Madhya Pradesh.
