Kala Gathered Long Shirt

The emphasis on rain-fed, pest- and drought-resistant varieties of cotton highlights a profound commitment to ecological sustainability and the revival of traditional farming practices that honor the land and its resources.

By prioritizing empathetic production processes, both Kala and Kandu not only showcases innovative agricultural practices but also represents a movement dedicated to fostering resilient rural livelihoods. This approach enhances the sustainability of cotton farming while simultaneously strengthening the resilience of farming communities in the face of climate change.

Both the Kala Cotton and Kandu Cotton initiatives share a commitment to building a sustainable and equitable future for rural farmers and artisans.

They achieve this by collaborating closely with local communities and establishing integrated supply chains that connect farmers, ginners, spinners, and weavers. Both initiatives adopt a comprehensive approach centered on sustainable agriculture, social equity, and economic empowerment. These efforts help preserve traditional crafts, sustain livelihoods, and strengthen the local value chain.

Immerse your Anjelms piece in cold water and gently hand wash it. If a washing machine is used, wash with similar colours and cold gentle cycle are recommended. A slight shrinkage (2.5% - 3.5%) and a soft, supple fabric after a few washes are to be expected. 

After washing, avoid wringing it out to preserve the delicate textile quality and lay it flat or hang to air dry in a shaded area to prevent fading and protect the fabric from the harsh effects of direct sunlight. Only iron on low heat.

To preserve the integrity of the colors and material, opt for mild, gentle pH-neutral detergents that are suitable for delicate fabrics.
