Chai 100% Cotton Sports Bra

Our iconic 100% cotton sports bra(IP) now in hand woven cotton, dyed in small batches with catechu, the heartwood of the khair tree and a dye Indian craftspeople have worked with for centuries. It gives a warm, grounded brown with a reddish undertone, the colour of tea left to steep a minute too long. No two pieces hold it identically. The shade deepens through wear and softens through washing, becoming yours over time.

Support without compression. Cotton breathes where synthetics trap, so the fabric stays cool through heat, movement, long hours, and the ordinary business of a day. Catechu carries its own antimicrobial quality, which means the bra stays fresh longer between washes.

Cut to sit close at the band and easy through the shoulder. Made for yoga, walking, travel, sleep, and the days that ask for nothing more than softness.

100% handwoven indigenous khadi cotton dyed with catechu bark.
