Our Himalayan Nettle Kurta is crafted from the finest handspun and handwoven Himalayan nettle yarn, produced in the remote villages of eastern Nepal. Undyed and entirely handmade, this shirt showcases the raw elegance and natural variation of a truly organic fibre — offering a quiet timelessness rarely found in modern garments.
Slightly thicker and heavier than our hemp-cotton kurtas, this nettle fabric softens gradually with wear, evolving with your body over time. The breathable, keyhole neckline design features a relaxed, loose silhouette that promotes airflow — ideal for warm weather and layering throughout the seasons.
Please note: As each piece is made using unprocessed fibres and traditional methods, subtle variations in shade and texture are to be expected and cherished.

In order to remove maximum shrinkage, all of our fabric destined for clothing is machine washed at 60°C prior to tailoring. We still recommend a 30°C wash for all tailored garments as a precaution, for both further shrinkage and fading of the natural dye colour.
