The yellow and gray shibori tissue kaftan by Twenty Nine is a single piece made in hand tied and dyed shibori, designed by the Twenty Nine team and crafted by master artisans in Kutch. The tissue fabric has a soft luster, and the dye work gives each kaftan a slightly different pattern. The shape is loose, so it falls easily from the shoulders without clinging. It is a simple piece to put on, and the dye work gives it enough interest to wear without much else. It suits festive occasions such as a festive lunch, a daytime celebration or a family get-together, and it is dry clean only.
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.
