alleyppey kalamkari blue in roses || artisanal women tops

We love the Alleyppey top with its flared sleeves, straight cut and bare shoulders ... A look full of femininity and elegant! The cut is deliberately close to the armpits with an elastic band that goes around the shoulders so that the top does not rise constantly above the shoulders! No need to reposition your top with bare shoulders with each movement!

Kalamkari is an expression of ancestral and unique art from the Andhra Pradesh region. This art was born from musicians, painters, and singers, called Chitrakattis to illustrate the great epics of Hindu mythology which were then told. Its peculiarity is that it is painted only with vegetable dyes, using a Kalam ( cut bamboo) fitted with a cloth serving as a reservoir on woven cotton canvas. In Sanskrit, Kalam means "pen" and Kari means "art".
