Golden Root Shirt – Naturally Dyed with Botanical Dyes
 
The Golden Root Shirt is a pure expression of natural dyeing, created using multiple dips in a plant-based dye bath. This slow, immersive process results in a rich, earthy golden hue, with subtle variations that highlight the organic beauty of botanical dyes. Unlike printed Ajrakh textiles, this shirt relies solely on botanical dyeing, allowing the natural fibres to fully absorb the depth of colour over time.
Crafted from certified organic Fairtrade cotton and dyed with plant-based ingredients, this shirt embodies sustainability, heritage, and slow fashion at its finest.
 
The Natural Dyeing Process
Using a traditional multi-step dyeing method, the fabric is dipped repeatedly into a botanical dye bath, allowing the colour to gradually deepen. The result is a soft, organic golden shade, created entirely by nature.
Because plant dyes bond uniquely with natural fibres, every piece has its own organic texture and tonal depth, ensuring that no two shirts are exactly alike.
 
Thoughtfully Made, From Seed to Shirt
From selecting organic cotton grown without harmful pesticides to working with our master dyers in Kutch, we oversee every step. The fabric is hand-dyed using botanical ingredients, washed in flowing water, and then crafted in a small workshop where attention to detail and comfort come first. Each shirt is finished with handmade coconut buttons, enhancing its organic aesthetic.

A Special Note on the Design
The Golden Root Shirt is plain-dyed rather than block-printed, allowing the richness of the natural plant dye to take centre stage. Due to the multi-step dyeing process, the fabric absorbs the botanical pigments differently, creating slight variations in tone that add to its unique character.
This short-sleeve version is designed for warm-weather comfort, with a straight-cut hem, casual collar, and an offset top button, making it easy to wear and effortlessly stylish.
