Ai Khadi Stand Lace Square Blouse

The artisanal beauty of handwork

Despite its irregularities and small cotton fragments, Indian khadi has a beauty all its own. It is carefully spun and woven in Indian village homes. I particularly love the warm, rustic fullness of this fabric, a texture that modern machines cannot reproduce.

At the collar and button placket, delicate lace inserts subtly reveal the skin. Fine gathers are worked into the lace to evoke religious pleats. The evolution of the indigo shades over time, after several dyeings, also adds to the charm of this piece. An elegant and refined blouse.

As this product is dyed with indigo, the color may bleed onto other fabrics.
