SITAARA IKKAT SHIRT

This shirt is crafted from rescued end-cut panels of multicolored Ikat cotton atop deep-black cotton cambric. The lower front features sweeping curved cambric inserts, each defined by hand-stitched kantha running stitches in tonal thread that echo the Ikat’s vertical streaks. The open camp collar and short sleeves are outlined in contrasting white blanket-stitch, underscoring the artisanal finish. Designed with a relaxed, boxy silhouette and snap-button front, it layers effortlessly over a tee or stands alone with chinos. The breathable fabrics feel soft against the skin, while the interplay of vibrant Ikat and solid black lends a modern graphic edge. Ethically made and artfully detailed, this shirt transforms offcuts into a wearable work of art.
Each piece is one of a kind, with small differences in placement, print, embroidery, applique and texture that reflect its handmade, upcycled nature.
