House notes
Ruby Raga Maroon Kurta with Ikat Collar
In the maker's hand
Deep maroon ikat on a modern collar cut. The Ruby Raga Collar Kurta for women takes a heritage weave and puts it in a shape you can wear to work, to lunch, or to a family function without changing. A collar kurti for women that doubles as an ethnic top for women. The ikat print runs through the fabric rather than printed on top, and you can see the difference when you hold it. Structured enough to carry itself, relaxed enough to move in.

Good to know
Heritage weave — the pattern is woven in, not printed on top.
The Story
Ikat begins long before the loom where the yarn is resist-dyed by hand, then woven so the pattern lives inside the cloth rather than printed on top. The Ruby Raga sets that centuries-old maroon weave on a modern collar, for the woman who wants heritage she can wear to work. Handcrafted in Ahmedabad; hold it to the light and you'll see the weave, not a print.
