The shorts use ‘Kala’ cotton fabric made from sustainable rain-fed organic cotton crops that are handpicked, hand spun and hand-loomed. They are breathable, safe for your skin and get softer with each wash.
These tie-dye shorts are created using Bandhani, a technique where fabric is pinched into a point and bound tightly by thread in a circular motion. Each dot you see is tied in this manner. Once the pattern is tied, the fabric is dipped in a dye bath. All tied areas resist the dye and create a circular mark for each tie. The rest of the fabric gets colored with the dye. Since each dot is tied by hand, there are always interesting and unique variations in each dot, each pattern layout and therefore each garment.
The Ina shorts have an elasticized waist band and a drawstring. They are perfect for lounging at home or wearing on a vacay. Pair them with a coordinating shirt or a contrast shirt for some color pop. These organic ‘Kala’ cotton clothes can be worn all year round.
