BELA APPLIQUE SHIRT

This shirt is crafted from overdyed olive-green block-printed cotton rescued from end-cut leftovers and features two panels of Ajrakh and Kalamkari textile remnants appliquéd along the front. Each piece is couched in gleaming silk thread for a sculptural texture. The camp collar and short sleeves are finished with neat blanket-stitch in ivory, accentuating the artisanal quality. Cut for a relaxed fit with a snap-button placket, it pairs effortlessly with chinos or dark denim. The breathable cotton keeps you cool, while the layered prints and silk embroidery create visual depth. Ethically made and consciously styled, this shirt turns discarded textiles into a standout wardrobe essential.
Each piece is one of a kind, with small differences in placement, print, embroidery, applique and texture that reflect its handmade, upcycled nature.
