Manjestha Pleated Top | Handwoven Organic Cotton Fusion Top

A handwoven organic cotton pleated top inspired by the traditional Indian Kediyu, featuring asymmetric pleats, layered sleeves, and naturally dyed Manjestha and Anar hues for effortless contemporary fusion styling. The Manjestha Pleated Top reimagines the traditional Indian Kediyu silhouette into a contemporary fusion garment that celebrates India's rich textile heritage through thoughtful craftsmanship and timeless design. Handwoven by skilled artisans from 100% indigenous organic cotton , the top showcases an earthy interplay of Manjestha (Natural Madder Red) and Anar (Pomegranate Rind) , both achieved through plant-based natural dyes . The result is a fabric with rich depth, unique texture, and naturally beautiful colour variations that reflect the artistry of handloom weaving. The contemporary silhouette is elevated with asymmetric pleating , a distinctive triangular keyhole opening at the back , and elegant double-layered sleeves accented in warm ochre. Handwoven dobby temple motifs , dyed using natural Anar, add subtle artisanal detailing, while the Manjestha dye, traditionally derived from madder roots, is valued in Indian craft traditions for its natural origins.
