The beige silk rai bandhani short kurta set by Twenty Nine is menswear in two pieces. The short kurta is hand tied and dyed rai dana bandhani in silk, in a taupe shade, and it comes with stretch crepe pants in beige. The bandhani dots give the kurta its surface, so there is no heavy embroidery to carry. The shorter length sits above the knee line of the pant, and the set is cut for a comfortable fit. It is made on order. It suits a groom, a groomsman or the brother of the bride at a mehendi or a sangeet.
Established in 2017, 29india (Twenty Nine) celebrates the artistry of Indian textiles by weaving together craftsmanship drawn from the diverse traditions of the country’s 29 states. The label is recognized for its meticulous detailing, artisanal techniques, and a design language that feels both rooted and contemporary. Guided by a thoughtful approach to texture, pattern, and handwork, 29india brings forward a modern interpretation of traditional craftsmanship that resonates with those who appreciate refined, culturally grounded fashion.
