The indigo silk rai kurta shirt with pant by Twenty Nine is menswear made from hand tied and dyed rai dana bandhani silk, finished with appliqued bandhani work across the kurta shirt. It is paired with an ivory stretch crepe pant, so the deep indigo of the top sits against a soft, light base. The set is cut for a comfortable fit and is made on order. It suits a groom, a groomsman or a brother of the bride who wants a clothed look with a dyed, handmade texture rather than heavy embroidery. Wear it to a family puja, a festive lunch or a daytime celebration.
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.

What should a groomsman wear when the dress code is festive but not heavy?
The indigo silk rai kurta shirt with pant by Twenty Nine is a light, textured option with no heavy embroidery. It works for family puja, festive lunch or daytime celebration dressing.
Will stretch fabric make a long family function easier to sit through?
Yes, the pant is stretch crepe. That helps when you are seated, standing and greeting for several hours.
I find strong colors hard to carry, will indigo with ivory suit me?
The two tones are deep indigo on top and soft ivory below, which keeps the look balanced rather than loud. The ivory pant gives your eye a light place to rest.
Which pieces come in the box and how should I look after them?
The set includes a kurta shirt and a pant. Dry clean only.
How is the bandhani on the kurta shirt actually made?
The silk is hand tied and dyed in the rai dana bandhani method, then finished with appliqued bandhani work. Because it is tied by hand, small differences between dots are part of the piece.
