Not every kids' ethnic wear needs to be an heirloom - some just need to work. Cotton, chosen because it behaves: it drapes cleanly and does not cling.

It moves between everyday wear and occasions without needing much thought. Hand-finished detail differs a little from piece to piece; that is the nature of the work rather than a defect.

Care is the usual: dry-clean anything with zari or dense embroidery, hand-wash cottons and rayons in cold water, and dry in shade rather than direct sun.
