Ochre Handloom Kurta
Breathable warp-striped cotton, side slits, and a collar that sits just right open or buttoned.
I make cotton and linen separates on wooden handlooms — cloth with a heartbeat, cut for the everyday life you actually live.
Years ago, in a courtyard in Andhra, I watched a weaver throw a shuttle across the warp — that soft, rhythmic clack. It made me realise how much clothing I owned that no human hand had ever touched with care.
Loom & Ochre began as one kurta, made properly. Today every piece is still woven by the same clusters, in small batches, with dyes rooted in earth and indigo. No trend calendars. No landfill by design.

“Cloth remembers the hands that make it.”
Everyday, elevated. Each cut is designed to layer, mix and outlive the next thing you're told to want.
Breathable warp-striped cotton, side slits, and a collar that sits just right open or buttoned.
A relaxed shirt and wide-leg trouser in vat-dyed linen that softens beautifully with every wash.
Loom-fresh, unbleached cotton in its purest state. The quiet backbone of any wardrobe.
Hand-carved wooden blocks, natural dyes, and a wrap silhouette that flatters every day.
We work directly with weaving families across Andhra, West Bengal and Rajasthan — paying fair, buying small, and returning every season.
Each metre passes through a wooden handloom, shuttle by shuttle. Slower, yes — but with a slub and texture no machine can fake.
Natural dyes, generous seams and timeless cuts. We'd rather you wear one piece for a decade than ten for a season.
One thoughtful note each time a batch comes off the loom — early access, the story behind the cloth, and nothing else. That's a promise.
