Aikaze Khadi Mix Tucked Dress

With soft gathers at the front center, this dress sways gently with each movement. The neckline is adjustable with a drawstring, allowing for a personalized fit.

The fabric is Indian Khadi, hand-spun and handwoven with care in village homes across India. Even the irregularities—like subtle slubs or flecks of cotton—are part of what makes it beautiful. Its warmth and natural texture create a fullness that modern machines simply cannot replicate—a beloved characteristic of true craftsmanship.

Woven by hand from slowly spun yarn, this cotton fabric—aptly named after “wind”—features flowing vertical patterns. The gentle rhythm of the design feels like a breeze, with soft, airy cotton that wraps the skin in comfort. This piece from 45R celebrates Japanese attention to detail and traditional techniques through every thread.
