Hara Aakash Shirt – Hand-Painted Cotton Half Sleeve | JOD

Hara Aakash is a half-sleeve cotton shirt hand-painted and hand-embroidered with suns, moons, leaves and flowing forms, worked on rescued fabric in sea green, white and peach. The cut is relaxed and gender-neutral in spirit, made for travelling, walking and warm-weather days rather than for a formal wardrobe. The name means green sky, and the motifs sit somewhere between earth and air.

FAQs

Is it made for men or women?

The cut is relaxed and unisex in spirit. Choose your size by chest measurement rather than by the category the shirt is listed under.

Will the hand painting survive washing?

Yes, with cold hand washing and no wringing. Machine cycles and hot water are what fade painted textile work.

Is it cool enough for Indian summers?

It is cotton with half sleeves and a loose fit, so it breathes well in heat.

How does it differ from the Lotus in Bloom shirt?

Hara Aakash carries painted and embroidered sky and leaf motifs across the whole shirt; Lotus in Bloom is a white shirt with an applique lotus and painted lily pads.
