A heritage wrap dress.
Meet our Kala Cotton Wrap Dress—hand-woven in small artisan batches in Kutch from rain-fed, pesticide-free organic cotton that drapes with the airy feel of linen.​ Fully adjustable ties let it fit and flatter up (S to 2XL). The subtle woven motifs are created right on the loom, so every limited run has its own quiet character.

Our indigenous organic Kala Cotton Wrap Dress is a quietly powerful staple: cut from indigenous, rain-fed cotton grown in Kutch’s desert soils, it drapes the body with cool breathability while carrying a story of resilience and regeneration. Its classic wrap silhouette flatters every curve and moves easily from sunrise errands to candle-lit dinners—proof that comfort, craft, and understated elegance can live in one garment.

Hand-woven on traditional floor looms by our Reyaan weavers in Kutch, the fabric’s extra-weft motifs are created right on the loom—celebrating a desert weaving heritage that threads story into every strand. Read more in the Craft Story section.

Kala cotton is an indigenous, rain-fed and pesticide-free cotton variety native to Kutch, Gujarat, celebrated for its drought-resilient plants and naturally organic fibre. Read more about it in the Material, Size & Care section.

Why a Wrap Dress?

  • The wrap design has been celebrated since the 1970s for its ease, adaptability, and quiet empowerment of every body type 

  • Adjustable waist ties let you loosen or cinch as your day—and your body—shift.

  • Deep V-neck and fluid A-line skirt create a long, graceful silhouette.

Styling & Versatility

  • Travel-ready: lightweight but strong, it packs small and emerges wrinkle-light.

  • Seasonless base: pair with sandals in summer, layer over a merino turtleneck and boots when leaves turn.

The Connection You Wear

Choosing this wrap dress plants a resilient seed in your wardrobe: one that honours drought-wise farming, hand weaving, and fair work—while wrapping you in breathable ease, day after day. Slip it on and feel the bridge between desert cotton fields and your everyday moments.

Material

Kala Cotton
Grown in the salt-desert of Kutch, Kala cotton is an indigenous, rain-fed fibre that needs no irrigation or pesticides and thrives where rainfall is under 40 cm a year 
Hand-woven in small artisan batches, the cloth has the breathable drape of linen yet retains the hardy resilience that once clothed desert nomads.


Sizing

We cut every Kala Cotton Wrap Dress in inclusive sizes S - 2XL. Adjustable waist ties let each size flex with you through the seasons.
Need numbers? Our Size Chart shows exact measurements based on international conversions 
If you’re between sizes, choose the smaller for a neater fit or the larger for an easy, layered look— the wrap will do the rest.


Care

Your dress is happiest with a gentle hand-wash:

  1. Fill a basin with cool water and a mild, eco-friendly detergent 

  2. Submerge, swish softly for a few minutes, then rinse until clear.

  3. Press out excess water (no wringing) and reshape on a towel; line-dry in shade.

  4. Iron while damp if you like a crisp look—Kala cotton grows softer, never weaker, with every wash.

Each gentle wash keeps fibres strong, colours true, and stories intact—so your dress can journey with you, and maybe the next generation, too.

Our Kala Cotton Wrap Dress is more than a garment—it is a bridge between Kutch’s desert looms and the rhythm of your day. We wanted to share with you the whole journey: how a drought-wise crop becomes cloth, how extra-weft motifs are formed strand-by-strand, and how every step is moving toward a living-wage chain.

1. Cotton that drinks the rain

Kala cotton shrubs tolerate drought, salt and pests; rainfall alone is enough to push the bolls to fluff. That makes the crop almost carbon-silent compared with irrigated conventional or even organic cotton.

2. Weaving in homes

After the cotton is cleaned, ginned, spinned it travels a few dusty kilometres to village homes. Here floor looms are a part of your house; shuttle clicks mingle with chai spoons. Families weave the cloth inch-by-inch—no motors, just rhythm and talk.

3. Motifs made on the loom

Those small geometric accents aren’t printed or embroidered. They’re extra-weft motifs: a second thread is hand-picked into the weft line to lock each shape forever inside the fabric. Every batch carries the weaver’s own cadence, so no two rolls match exactly. 

4. Cloth that feels like linen

Kala’s short, sturdy staple gives the finished weave the breathable slub of linen yet softens every time you wash it . The dress packs small, shakes out wrinkles, and grows gentler with age—proof of use, not wear.

5. Cut, tied, zero plastic

Back in a nearby tailoring room run by Yogin bhai (brother), the fabric is washed in well-water, sun-dried on flat rooftops, and cut into the wrap you see. There are no zips or buttons, only long self-ties that let the dress fit bodies and seasons in motion. 

Why we share this

UNESCO calls craft “the most tangible form of intangible heritage”.  Knowing the route from seed to seam turns an everyday garment into a living story—and lets you carry a piece of Kutch’s resilience wherever you walk.

Never underestimate the power of your choice—what you welcome into your wardrobe echoes far beyond your closet.
