Temple Tides Kimono – Make it ADT x Kooky Nari

Kalamkari Kimono , handcrafted with love by Make It ADT and painted by Kooky Nari, is a wearable piece of heritage. Using the ancient pen Kalamkari technique, artisans sketch motifs with a hand-held bamboo pen and natural dyes, following a meticulous 23-step process of washing, treating, and layering colors. Each design—peacocks for grace, florals for growth, and expressive faces echoing myth and folklore—emerges slowly through sun-drying, mordanting, and dye fixing, making every clothing unique. Rooted in tradition yet styled for today, it carries the soulful storytelling of Kalamkari art, blending cultural symbolism with contemporary comfort.
