India, Eka, Basil Dress

The Basil Dress is a relaxed silhouette crafted from handwoven cotton khadi, designed with gently flared side panels that create an easy, fluid shape. Soft gathers at the front waist add subtle volume, while an abstract composition of hand-block printed motifs with blue tones brings depth and movement to the surface. Thoughtfully placed border prints are enriched with a combination of delicate hand and machine embroidery, and multicolour hand-block printed bindings complete the garment with a refined artisanal finish. A button-fastened back opening and softly tapered sleeves add understated elegance.

Part of Eka's Residue collection, each dress reimagines the layered traces left behind during the traditional block-printing process. These accidental impressions are transformed into one-of-a-kind garments, celebrating craftsmanship, memory and the beauty of renewal. As every piece is hand printed and embroidered, slight variations in colour and pattern are a natural part of its unique character.
