Meet the brother to the baby pink pavadai. We took the same soft, peeled-onion pink the girls wear — woven through with fine golden stripes — and cut it into a kurta a boy can actually live in: a neat mandarin collar and button placket, a little chest pocket, easy short sleeves. Line the two up for a family photo and they look made for each other, because they are: pastel, gentle, and quietly grand. Pink on a boy done right is calm and handsome — a soft, refined pastel that photographs beautifully. And because boys' clothes get lived in hard, we built for it: soft, gentle cotton, reinforced where it counts, buttons sewn to stay. Smart for the festival, comfortable long after the last photo. And it's made the way everything we make is made — by hand, with high care, by women in a clean, fair and dignified workshop, to the same standard as the rest of our Onam collection.
