RAINFED · Eastern Kutch · No irrigation
The Kala Cotton Hand Towel is part of the Rann Collection; textiles from Kutch, Gujarat, where Kala Cotton grows on rainfall alone in the drylands of Rapar and Bhachau. This is an indigenous cotton: a short-staple fibre that industrial mills reject and only human hands can work. What the machines call a flaw is where the texture comes from.
Handwoven in a 2×2 twill, the weave structure behind fine suiting, gives the cloth its slight sheen and its supple drape. One towel in unbleached ivory, one with terracotta stripes. Prewashed, and woven dense for daily use. Generously sized.
