Trader's Toast

A rare pairing of pink and black sets Trader's Toast apart, with wild foliage unfolding with hints of madder and mustard. The unexpected colour combination lends the print a distinctive character, recalling the Indian printed cottons that once captivated merchants across distant shores. The name pays tribute to the admiration these textiles inspired in the trading ports of the Coromandel Coast, where the artistry of Kalamkari became part of a rich history of cultural exchange.

The straight-cut kurta features a jewel neckline with a slit opening and loop-button fastening, leading into an ornately embroidered rectangular yoke. With its clean sleeve edges and intricate detailing concentrated around the neckline and yoke, Trader's Toast lets the unusual palette and artistry of the textile take centre stage.
