Artisan work is beautiful but the regular fit feels quite baggy on my frame. Since it is made to order I was expecting a sharper silhouette.

Key features
Why you'll love it.
For an evening by the water or a slow Sunday, this shirt offers a beautiful connection to the Kerala coast. The decision to embroider rather than print the motifs gives it a weight and texture that feels substantial yet breathable. It is a quiet piece of wearable storytelling.

All 8 reviewsLocal motifs look very authentic. You can tell it is hand-stitched and not a print.
bahut accha embroidery. It feels like wearing a piece of the Kerala coast. The cotton material is comfortable for the weather here.
I appreciate the slow fashion approach. Waiting for a made-to-order piece was worth it because the craft focus shows in every stitch.
neat hand-embroidered symbols. good regular fit.
Every detail in the embroidery stands out and the motifs are unique. Cotton is a bit thinner than I imagined, but perfect for summer.
