Beautiful Fabindia 100% cotton tunic top, made in India and featuring a delicate repeating floral print in soft peach pink, terracotta and green.

The lightweight woven cotton is covered in a small traditional Indian-style floral motif, giving the top a lovely artisan, folk-inspired look. The print has the appearance of traditional Indian block printing, with the slight character and simplicity associated with this style of textile.

Finished with contrasting dusky rose pink woven trim around the neckline, down the front opening and around the short sleeves. The decorative trim has a subtle metallic shimmer running through it, adding texture and a particularly pretty finish against the softer printed cotton.

The top has a collarless neckline with a short split/V opening at the front and an easy, gently shaped tunic silhouette. It has the relaxed feel of a traditional Indian kurta-style top, while still being very wearable with jeans, linen trousers or skirts.

Fabindia is an Indian heritage clothing and lifestyle brand founded in 1960 and known for its use of traditional Indian textiles and craft techniques, including handwoven and hand-printed fabrics and work produced by artisan communities across India.

This has an older-style Fabindia label and appears to be an earlier piece rather than a current design. The label style and garment are consistent with late 1990s/early 2000s Fabindia, although an exact production year cannot be confirmed.

The original label also carries the wording “RED/INDIGO TEND TO RUB”, reflecting the nature of the dyes used in this type of Indian cotton textile.

A really lovely and unusual Fabindia piece with plenty of appeal for lovers of Indian textiles, bohemian clothing, artisan fashion and relaxed summer dressing.
