Khushi Camp Shirt in Engineering Tile Print Indigo
The Khushi camp shirt is a classic summer style. Standard-fitting with an updated spread collar and bone buttons. Updated in one of our favorite U&O patterns that was inspired by traditional Athangudi tiles commonly seen in South India.
Printed in the traditional kalamkari block printing technique using a combination of natural dyes. Kalamkari is a special block-printed cotton textile that refers to the ancient style of hand painting that was born out of the art of storytelling. Making Kalamkari fabric involves 23-steps including treating and preparing the fabric, preparing the natural dyes and finally hand printing with precision and care.

Produced in a limited run with exclusive handcrafted fabrics. Due to its handmade nature, each piece is unique. Indigo dyeing is a special process that also requires extra care. Indigo bleeding is normal in naturally dyed garments and after several initial washes, the color will stabilize. Over time, the natural and graceful fading process results in a uniquely personalized piece.
We recommend hand washing separately in cold water using natural detergents and drying in the shade. Handcrafted garments are designed to last when treated with care.
