Taarika - Jhankar Bandhani Cotton Shirt

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

Like tiny stars scattered across a midnight sky, Taarika brings together the quiet elegance of deep hues and the timeless beauty of traditional Bandhani. Part of our Jhankar Collection, this handcrafted shirt celebrates the artistry of hand tie-dyeing in a silhouette designed for effortless everyday wear.

Crafted in soft cotton, Taarika features a rich Midnight Blue base adorned with warm Mustard Bandhani motifs. Thousands of hand-tied dots come together to create an intricate geometric composition, where intersecting lines frame delicate floral and paisley-inspired motifs. The pattern has a beautiful rhythm structured yet soft making the shirt striking without feeling overwhelming.

Designed with a clean Mandarin collar, wooden buttons, relaxed sleeves with broad cuffs, and side slits, it offers a comfortable, easy fit that pairs effortlessly with denim, trousers, skirts, or handcrafted bottoms. The back is intentionally kept mostly plain, finished with thoughtfully placed Bandhani motifs that create a quiet contrast to the richly patterned front.

Every Bandhani dot is tied by hand by skilled artisans, making each shirt one of a kind. Slight variations in the pattern and colour are a natural part of the handcrafted process, reflecting the authenticity and beauty of traditional Bandhani.
