Jhankar - Kesari Cotton Bandhani Shirt

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

A new addition to our beloved Jhankar Collection, the Jhankar Kesari Shirt celebrates the beauty of handcrafted Bandhani in a subtle, contemporary way.

Crafted in soft, breathable cotton, the shirt is hand tie-dyed in a rich Kesari ochre base, a warm earthy mustard with golden undertones that beautifully complements the Bandhani work. Instead of bright white motifs, this piece features muted purple Bandhani dots, creating a softer contrast that feels elegant and understated.

What makes this shirt truly special is the way the Bandhani has been designed. Rather than covering the entire fabric with dense motifs, the handcrafted patterns are thoughtfully spaced, allowing the warm Kesari base to remain visible. Flowing curves, floral-inspired motifs and traditional geometric elements move naturally across the front and sleeves, giving the shirt depth without overwhelming the fabric. It is a design that quietly draws attention and becomes more beautiful the closer you look.

The back is intentionally kept minimal, featuring only a few carefully placed handcrafted Bandhani motifs that create a balanced, refined finish while highlighting the beauty of the handcrafted process.

Finished with a delicately pleated neckline, matching pleated sleeve hems, natural shell buttons and a relaxed silhouette, the Jhankaar Kesari Shirt is designed for effortless everyday wear while carrying the charm of traditional craftsmanship.
