Fitting like a classic shirt, the Biodiversity Shirt features a unique semi-circle godet on each side for a tailored hipline, a soft band collar, cuffs, and buttons down the centre front.
Inspired by the natives of Sittilingi, where Porgai artisans live and work, it is adorned with delicate hand embroidery, including a butterfly on the centre back yoke, floral motifs over the right breast, and zig-zag blanket stitch detailing on the front pocket and shoulder seams.
Model is 5ft. 3in. and AU size 8. She wears a size S — this piece fits true to size and flatters a range of body types.
Crafted from 100% handspun, handloomed cotton and naturally hand-dyed with plant-based dyes, this piece features Porgai’s signature hand embroidery using plant-dyed cotton threads.
The eco-conscious dyeing process works in harmony with natural fibres, relying solely on botanical dyes and avoiding harmful chemicals.
