A hand-embroidered cotton T-shirt carrying the word Kalakar — Hindi for artist, or maker. Unisex, round-necked, and cut generously to fit most body types.

The embroidery is worked by hand, stitch by stitch — which is what separates this from a printed slogan tee. Print sits on the surface of the cloth; embroidery is worked into it, so the lettering has texture you can feel, and no two shirts are ever quite identical.

It's a quiet thing to wear if you make things for a living, or simply wish you did.
