Hand-printed Kalamkari Kurta

From The Dhaaga Collection by Adivalka — The Weave of Threads collection

This hand-printed Kalamkari cotton kurta is a celebration of India’s living textile heritage. Crafted from 100% handloom cotton, it reflects the spirit of dhaaga — the humble thread that binds pattern, craft, and story together.

The Kalamkari cotton kurta’s design balances tradition and modernity: a refined stand collar, a neat front placket, and a side pocket for ease and everyday comfort. Look closely and you’ll find the signature motifs of flora and fauna — hallmarks of Kalamkari’s ancient artistry — brought to life through hand-printing techniques. Coconut-shell buttons complete the look, adding an organic, earthy accent.

The lightweight cotton breathes easily, making it ideal for long summer days, while the natural dyes lend each piece subtle variations that speak to its handcrafted origin. Designed for those who value comfort without compromising on sophistication, this Kalamkari cotton kurta moves gracefully from daily wear to small gatherings. Its hand-finished seams and artisanal detailing highlight Adivalka’s dedication to sustaining India’s handloom traditions while shaping them for a modern wardrobe — a timeless garment that tells a story in every motif and thread.

Versatile and effortlessly stylish, this piece transitions seamlessly from ethnic to contemporary — pair the Kalamkari cotton kurta  with our dhoti pants for a rooted, traditional silhouette or with denims for an easy Indo-western fusion.
