For centuries, handloom weaving has been a part of Bharat’s rich tradition and artistry. However, with the rise of fast fashion, this tradition has faced a steady decline, forcing artisans in rural areas to abandon their craft and migrate to cities in search of stable livelihoods.
We, at Shramdaan, are on a mission to change that. Through our training centres, we equip rural artisans with the skills and support they need to create handwoven garments that blend tradition with everyday wear.
In this blog, we invite you to explore our women’s handloom kurti collection made for the modern Bharatiya women. While heading to work, catching up with friends, or hosting a pooja at home, Shramdaan has a handloom cotton kurti for every moment.

1. Women’s Cotton Printed Kurti:
One of the highlights of our collection is this Women’s Cotton Printed Kurti. It features vibrant prints that perfectly portray traditional Bharatiya motifs while ensuring comfort and breathability. Made from high-quality cotton and a comfortable straight cut, it’s a perfect kurti for daily wear regardless of the season. Pair it with deep green coloured leggings or pants to create a striking contrast that complements the kurti. For a layered option, a light, cotton dupatta in similar hues works the best.

For special occasions, our Peach Hand Embroidered Long Kurti is the perfect choice. This peach-toned kurti is detailed with hand embroidery around the neckline, making it just the right amount of festive without being over-the-top. This kurti is made from soft, handspun cotton that allows you to wear it comfortably for long hours. Pair it with beige pants, a zari work dupatta, juttis (traditional Bharatiya flats) and a matching potli bag to ace all those festive celebrations.
3. Hand Embroidered Long Kurti:
Another gem in our collection is the Hand Embroidered Long Kurti. This all-white kurti features delicate handwork on the neckline, making it one of the most loved among women who love subtlety. It’s a perfect pick for formal occasions, poojas (prayers), or workdays where you want a neat and traditional look. Match it with a pastel dupatta and silver jewellery to complete the look. Also, this breathable cotton fabric ensures you feel peak comfort even in peak summer heat.
4. Delicate Beige Handloom Cotton Kurti with Katha Work:
The Delicate Beige Handloom Cotton Kurti with Katha Work is a beautiful representation of traditional craftsmanship that originated in Bengal. This handwork adds a unique texture and charm to this kurti, making it stand out on the otherwise solid colour. Wear it with darker coloured leggings or flared pants. Top it off with a cotton dupatta in white and finish the look with a pair of matching Jhumkas to brighten up the look.
5. Hand Block Printed Cotton Kurti:
Lastly, this Hand Block Printed Cotton Kurti is a piece, adorned with delicate floral motifs in soothing shades of peach and green. Crafted using traditional hand block printing techniques, it represents the artisan’s precision and love for the craft. Made with 100% cotton, this kurti is perfect for all seasons. Pair it with classic white pants or beige leggings and a light cotton dupatta in a light colour to complete the look.
How to Take Care of Your Handloom Kurtis
To ensure that your handloom cotton kurtis remain beautiful and last for years to come, it’s essential to take proper care of them. Here are some practical tips to help you maintain their quality:
- Washing Instructions: Always hand wash your handloom kurtis in cold water using a mild detergent. It helps preserve their quality for a longer period. Avoid using harsh chemicals and/or bleach.
- Drying: After washing, hang your kurti to dry in a shaded area, away from direct sunlight, to prevent fading of colours and damaging texture.
- Storage: Always store your handloom kurtis in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in plastic bags, as they tend to lock in moisture, increasing the risk of mildew.
