Kashmiri Embroidered Cotton Tunic

Kashmiri Embroidered Cotton Tunic
Both men and women in the mountainous region of Kashmir wear a long robe called a phiran, which provides a sweeping canvas on which to display the flowering chain-stitched embroidery that Kashmir is known for. A shorter version of the phiran, our black and red tunic works as both everyday wear and eye-catching holiday flair. The style's flattering drape and self-tie detail at the back ensure a perfect fit. The embroidery is part of a craft tradition that dates back centuries. Throughout northern India, embroidery is a refined folk art, but in Kashmir it was often reserved for the royal court and rendered by trained professionals, usually men who inherited the craft through family lines. 100% cotton. Hand-wash or dry clean. Made in India.

Women's sizes S (4–6), M (8–10), L (12–14).
