Versatile Pintuck Top

Colour, craft, and everyday ease. Handwoven in 100% Kala cotton and dyed with natural colors with applique craft.

Kala Cotton Wool

Some pieces hold their shape quietly.

The Riva Top is designed with a more structured silhouette — full sleeves, a soft round neckline, and fine pin tucks that run along the front, bringing subtle form and detail to the piece.

At the heart of Riva is the textile.

The fabric is handwoven in Kala cotton wool by our weaving community in Kutch. Kala cotton is an indigenous cotton that grows naturally in the dry landscapes of the region and requires very little water along with the wool from Himachal Pradesh.

What makes this textile particularly special are the woven motifs. They are not printed or embroidered later — each detail is created directly on the loom, thread by thread.

The patterns sit gently across the fabric, while the pin tucks introduce a different rhythm — structured, linear, and precise.

There is a balance here.
Between softness and form.

The result is a piece that feels composed yet easy — where structure comes quietly, without rigidity.

The Riva Top is part of our Bloom collection, where materials, craft traditions, and design come together slowly — much like the natural world that inspires them.

This fabric carries the rhythm of a family loom in Kutch through our Reyaan community.

It is woven by Bhavna, who learned the craft from her father - a weaver of more than 30 years. The loom sits inside their home, where the sound of weaving has been part of everyday life for as long as she can remember. For the past eight years, Bhavna has been weaving alongside that same rhythm.

On her loom, Kala cotton and wool from the Himalayas come together - two natural fibres shaped by very different landscapes. Kala cotton, resilient and rooted in the dry lands of western India, meets the warmth of wool sourced from Himalayan sheep herders.

Thread by thread, the yarn is set on the loom. As the shuttle moves across, the motifs slowly appear in the cloth itself - not printed, not embroidered, but woven directly into the fabric.

A meeting of landscape, craft, and the quiet patience of the hands that make it.
