Inspired by the endangered black-necked cranes of Phobjikha, Bhutan, the Crane Kaftan translates the beauty of bird migration and movement into a wearable piece of art.

Crafted from handwoven Kala Cotton in ecru, the kaftan features delicate indigo crane embroidery created using traditional running stitches. The embroidery follows traced designs, with continuous stitching depicting the movement and migration of the birds. Each piece is hand embroidered by artisans from a women-run organisation in a small village in Bihar.

A single box pleat on the front panel adds volume, while handmade cotton tassels along the hem complete the design.

The fabric is made from Kala Cotton, an indigenous crop of Kutch, Gujarat. Naturally rain-fed and grown without pesticides or synthetic fertilisers, this traditional cotton is valued for its connection to local agricultural and textile heritage.
