Kurtas

Swati Vijaivargie's kurta collection spans everyday cotton straight kurtas to silk and hand-dyed shibori pieces for festive and occasion wear. Each shibori kurta is dyed using traditional tie-and-dye techniques that make every piece slightly unique. Sizes run from XS to 3XL.

Everyday Cotton Kurtas

Straight-cut printed cotton kurtas are built for daily wear. Cotton stays breathable through the day and works equally well at work or running errands, paired with palazzos or straight pants.

Silk & Shibori Kurtas

Our shibori kurtas are hand-dyed using a traditional tie-and-dye technique where fabric is folded, twisted, and bound before dyeing. This makes every piece slightly different from the next. Silk shibori kurtas are suited to festive and occasion wear.

Chanderi Kurtas

Chanderi is a lightweight, slightly sheer fabric that keeps you cool while still looking festive. It's a good middle option between everyday cotton and silk occasion wear.

How to Style a Kurta

Pair a printed kurta with solid-colour bottoms and minimal jewellery so the print stands out, or add a contrasting dupatta for festive occasions. Explore matching kurta sets for a coordinated outfit.

Size and Fit

Sizes run from XS to 3XL. Check the size chart on each product page before ordering, since fit can vary slightly by style and fabric.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a shibori kurta?

Shibori is a traditional tie-and-dye technique where fabric is folded, twisted, and bound before dyeing, creating a unique pattern on each piece.

What's the difference between a kurta and a kurti?

A kurta is traditionally longer, often knee-length or below, and can be worn by both men and women. A kurti is shorter and cut specifically for women.

What fabric is best for a kurta in summer?

Cotton is the most breathable option. Chanderi is a lighter alternative for festive wear that still stays cool.

Can a kurta be worn for festive occasions?

Yes. Silk and shibori kurtas, especially ones with embellishment, work well for festive wear, while cotton straight kurtas suit everyday occasions.

How do I choose the right kurta size?

Check the size chart on the product page. Sizes here run from XS to 3XL, and fit can vary slightly by style and fabric.

Is chanderi fabric good for kurtas?

Yes. Chanderi is lightweight and slightly sheer, making it a good option for festive dressing without the weight of silk.

How do I style a printed kurta?

Pair it with solid-colour bottoms and minimal jewellery so the print stands out, or add a contrasting dupatta for a festive look.
