Introducing our one-of-a-kind, Shola Shirt. It has shorter sleeves, spread collar and a pocket. This product is cut for loose fit.
This shirt is created from vintage silk from Andra Pradesh, featuring screen printed ikat design on the front and fine kalamkari work at the back. It is done in traditional for the region colours of white, blue, red and yellow. The artwork showcases intricately drawn divine or royal female figures, which are a hallmark of Kalamkari art that often depicts Hindu mythology, temple art, and epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata. The figures’ elaborate jewellery, facial expressions, and posture reflect traditional Indian artistic styles.
Srikalahasti Kalamkari is a traditional hand-painted textile art form originating from the town of Srikalahasti in Andhra Pradesh, India. This art form is known for its intricate, freehand pen work using a tamarind twig or kalam, which is used to draw mythological stories, religious themes, and intricate floral motifs. Natural dyes derived from plants, minerals, and other organic sources are used to color the designs, giving them a rich, earthy appearance. The process involves multiple stages, including bleaching, sketching, dyeing, and meticulous hand-painting, making each piece unique and time-consuming. Srikalahasti Kalamkari is widely used in temple hangings, sarees, and wall art, preserving India’s ancient storytelling traditions through fabric.
