A soft black woven cotton with a red and white motif using extra weft technique. Extra weft is where additional weft yarns in contrasting colours, are woven through the fabric. This yarn is woven in with the structural yarns.

This cloth would make beautiful skirts, dresses, tops and shirts. It would also be suitable for lightweight curtains. We would make a classic Mathilde with a Clover top.

Indian handlooms are sometimes susceptible to irregularities in the weave due to their handmade nature, this is all part of their charm and are not classed as flaws.

More about this cloth

This cloth is made with Kala cotton. Kala cotton is indigenous to Kutch in India and by default organic, as the farmers do not use any pesticides or synthetic fertilisers. It is a purely rain-fed crop that has a high tolerance for both disease and pests and requires minimal investment. The cotton has a beautiful rustic quality and we love it for it’s eco credentials and raw beauty.
