Meadows Unisex Hand Painted Trench

Crafted from 100% cotton fibres and natural materials, the Meadows Hand Painted Trench is made from soft mulmul, hand-painted using natural dyes from indigo, iron; and marigolds collected from temples and repurposed into dyes.

Truly transeasonal, this sheer trench serves as a versatile layering piece. It features a wide collar and raglan sleeves, with all panels accented by piping detail in a handwoven blue cotton fabric.

Kantha embroidery adds texture to the intuitive brushstrokes on the fabric. The back is designed with generous box pleats for a breezy, light silhouette, while the wide sleeves incorporate slits for added movement.
