Hand Block-Printed
Block printing is one of the oldest ways of putting pattern on cloth in South Asia. A drawing is transferred to a block of seasoned wood and carved by hand, so the pattern stands proud of the surface. Charged with dye and pressed down, the block leaves one repeat. Set side by side, impression after impression, the repeats become the cloth. Every piece is printed with natural dyes, and every block is carved by hand, so no two blocks are the same.

Handwoven
Handloom cloth is made by hand from end to end. Yarn is wound onto the warp beam of a pit loom, the khaddi, and woven one pick at a time: the weaver opens the shed with the treadles, throws the shuttle across and beats each row into place with the reed. The slubs and small shifts in tension stay in the cloth. That is the point.

Angan means courtyard — the open centre of a South Asian home where everything converges. Morning chai, afternoon conversations, evening light falling at the right angle. This tee is built around that same idea: multiple worlds meeting at a single point.
On a black jersey base, the Angan T-Shirt layers technique upon technique. The front carries a screen-printed RASTAH logo, hand-woven fabric patches, and silk-jacquard inserts that catch light differently depending on how you move. The back runs a full screen-print composition. A jute sublimation patch sits on the body alongside block-printed khaddar sections — each material chosen for what it contributes to the whole.
Black here is not minimalism. It is the backdrop that makes everything else visible — the way a courtyard wall frames whatever happens in front of it. Every technique on this shirt has its own craft lineage: jacquard weaving, hand-loom construction, block printing, sublimation on jute. Assembled together they create a surface that reads differently at different distances.
RASTAH builds collections as stories. The angan is where those stories get told — surrounded, held, witnessed. Wear this shirt as that space: the place where things come together.
