This stylish top is so soft and comfy that you'll make up occasions to put it on.

The natural fabric breathes, making it ideal for warm weather and relaxed days. Pair with our white, natural or black palazzo pants and you have an outfit for a day to make memories.
The magic of this top lies in the handmade dabu printing. Dabu is an age-old process that has been perfected over generations in India. A local earthen mixture is hand printed on natural cotton cloth using hand-cut wood block prints and left to dry. The cloth is then dipped into the natural indigo vat, where the area with the mud resists the dye, and the rest is colored a beautiful blue. After washing, the secret is revealed. Part of the beauty of dabu fabric lies in fact that each block is placed by the artisan’s hand - what is left behind is an imprint of the personality and character of the blockprinter. Slight variations are to be celebrated.

This graceful artwork by master artist Mukti Singh Thapa is of a temple to Shiva Linga. The linga is the representation of the god Shiva and an emblem of generative power. It is usually shown with the yoni – its feminine counterpart. Together, they symbolize the merging of microcosmos and macrocosmos, the divine eternal process of creation and regeneration, and the union of the feminine and the masculine that recreates all of existence. The linga is found in temples and shrines throughout Nepal and India. This piece, painted during his black and white period from 2005 - 2007, displays Thapa's mastery of the 13th - 16th century Newar Design style through its precise lines, and expert use of traditional iconography and immense creativity.
This original thangka, or paubha in Nepal, was painted in the traditional manner with handmade blank ink on primed cotton canvas. There is no white pigment used, meaning that even one small slip of the brush will force the artist to destroy the entire work. Additionally, in only painting with black ink, Mukti is painting the negative space with the plain canvas taking prominence. This method takes considerable concentration, and a painting of this size and complexity will take several months to compose and complete.
The original painting is available for a special art lover. Additionally, Mahakala Fine Arts has produced a Collector's Edition fine art print so that everyone can enjoy this museum quality work of art.
