The lavender silk rai bandhani short kurta set by Twenty Nine is menswear. The short kurta is in silk with hand tied and dyed rai dana bandhani. It is worn with ivory pants in stretch crepe. The kurta is short in length, so the ivory pant shows clearly below it against the lavender. Both pieces are cut for comfort with sizes S to XL and made to order, so the fit follows the size you choose. The set suits a groom, a groomsman or a 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.
