Our V-neck tank is made from an organic cotton crafted ikat weave crafted in India. Shaped with bust darts and featuring slits at the side hem.
The cotton yarns are carefully bound and dyed to create the pattern, then hand-woven to create a soft fabric. The weavers work under master artisan Bikshapati Kolaan in the village of Yellanki in Andhra Pradesh. He has been weaving for over 40 years, following the path of his father.

Made in India.
An age-old and complex technique of patterning cloth, whereby the pattern is pre-determined by tie-dyeing the yarn prior to weaving. The characteristic haziness of the pattern that emerges is a pleasing result of this hand process.
This fabric is handloom woven. Weaving irregularities are a pleasing characteristic of handloom woven items and should not be considered a fault.

Reviews from Our Customers
Handmade in Andhra Pradesh
Ikat weaving is a time-honored technique, with roots in India’s history of traditional craft. The process starts before the loom - cotton yarns are tightly bound in sections before being dyed, preventing certain areas from absorbing colour. The bindings are adjusted, and the yarns dyed again, building up layered patterns. Once the bindings are removed, the yarns are handwoven into cloth, creating ikat’s signature hazy design.
In the village of Yellanki, Andhra Pradesh, master weaver Bikshapati Kolaan leads the group of artisans that weave our seasonal ikat fabrics. Meanwhile, our one-of-a-kind ikat jackets are kantha-stitched and sewn together by women from two Fair Trade cooperatives in India. Each piece is made using traditional techniques, passed down through generations.
Cotton Care Guide
Cotton is a comfortable, breathable, and easy-care fibre that holds dye well, making it an ideal canvas for vibrant colours and prints. Sourced from the cotton plant's seed pods, its natural and biodegradable properties make it gentler on the environment than other materials. Cotton can be transformed into a range of durable fabrics, including denim, poplin, and twill.
- Machine wash at 30°C with similar colours.
- Wash only when necessary to preserve shape, colour, and quality.
- Reshape while damp by holding the seams and gently shaking the fabric out.
- Dry flat or hang to reduce creasing.
- If needed, iron while damp or use steam.
- Store away from direct sunlight to prevent fading.
