The Craft Behind Our Handmade Shirts

At Nilam India, the process of creating handmade shirts begins with inspiration drawn from nature, culture, and heritage. Designs are first transferred onto wooden blocks carved by hand. Each block is then dipped in eco-friendly dye and pressed meticulously onto the fabric to form layers of color and pattern.

Our artisans employ time-honored techniques like hand block printing, hand dyeing, and Ajrakh-inspired motifs, ensuring every shirt carries a part of India’s artisanal soul. After printing, the fabric is sun-dried, washed naturally, and tailored into flattering cuts.

The outcome is a collection of handmade shirts that look elegant, feel soft, and age beautifully with time.
