Banafsha - Rai Bandhani Cotton Shirt

📏 This piece is Relaxed Fit. See exact garment measurements: Size Guide - Relaxed Fit.

A deep, moody expression of traditional Bandhani, Banafsha is crafted in cotton satin in a rich deep plum-purple shade with subtle blue undertones, contrasted with delicate ivory-white Rai Bandhani.

The front features an intricate Rai Bandhani composition, with fine dotted lines forming traditional geometric and floral-inspired motifs across the rich purple ground. The ivory Bandhani creates a beautiful contrast against the depth of the colour, giving the shirt its distinctive festive character.

The back carries a more understated Bandhani arrangement, allowing the deep plum-purple colour to remain the focus while retaining the handcrafted character of the piece.

Delicate pleated detailing along the neckline and sleeve hems adds subtle texture and dimension to the relaxed silhouette. Finished with a front button opening and short side slits, Banafsha balances traditional craft with an easy, contemporary shape.

Each piece is individually hand tie-dyed using the Rai Bandhani technique, so natural variations in the pattern are an inherent part of its handmade character.
