Kokum Bark

Material: Mid weight cotton jersey with slub texture.

Uneven yarns mimic natural bark and dried fruit peels. Breathable but weighty. Inspired by the kokum tree of the Western Ghats — its dried skins, its bittersweet tang, its grounding medicinal power. This shirt is earth. A memory of tree trunks, warm mud walls, roasted spices, and still afternoons.

Evokes the brownness of India in summer — not the desert, but the earth after heat. The smell of sun-dried amla, of roasted lentils, of temple floors. Goes well with muted greens or cream pants. Add jute accessories, tan sandals, and the scent of vetiver. Because brown is our soul color. Kokum Bark grounds this entire collection.
