Kinari Button Down

About this product

Kinari means border — the edge, the trim, the detail that runs the perimeter. In South Asian textile tradition, the kinari is often where the most elaborate work lives: embroidered hems, woven borders, the finishing that tells you about everything that came before it. The Kinari Button Down is built around that principle, where the border is the story.On a black half-sleeve khaddar base, the shirt runs a silk banarsi border down its length, a weave of extraordinary complexity typically found on ceremonial garments. A second border in pink lightweight fabric creates contrast alongside the banarsi. Mukesh hand work — a form of metallic thread embellishment — runs along the border, and khaddar patches continue the layered material language of the piece. A screen-printed RASTAH logo patch completes the chest.Black khaddar is severe and grounded. Silk banarsi is the opposite: luminous, intricate, associated with wealth and occasion. Placing one against the other in the same garment creates a tension that is the shirt's entire argument — that utility and ceremony are not opposites, that a button-down can carry both registers simultaneously.Borders define where one thing ends and another begins. The Kinari Button Down is comfortable living exactly at that edge.Key Features Black half-sleeve khaddar construction Silk banarsi woven border Pink lightweight fabric contrast border Mukesh hand embellishment along border Khaddar patches Screen-printed RASTAH logo patch at chest Care InstructionsDry clean only
