Mangalagiri Cotton Shirt

A modern shirt shaped by one of Andhra Pradesh’s enduring handloom traditions.

Crafted in Mangalagiri cotton, the fabric is lightweight, breathable and comfortable against the skin, making it particularly well suited to warm weather. Its understated texture and clean appearance allow the beauty of the handwoven fabric to come through without feeling overly formal.

At House of Roh, we reimagine this traditional textile as an easy contemporary shirt — one that can move effortlessly between everyday dressing, travel, dinners and occasions.

Fabric: Mangalagiri Cotton
Origin: Andhra Pradesh, India
Craft: Handwoven
Feel: Lightweight, breathable and comfortable
Fit: Relaxed boxy fit with a straight silhouette and easy drape

Subtle variations in weave, texture and colour are characteristic of handcrafted textiles and make each piece distinctive.

Care Instructions

Gentle hand wash separately in cold water using a mild detergent. Avoid soaking for long periods. Do not bleach, scrub, twist or wring the garment. Dry naturally in the shade to help preserve the colour and texture of the fabric.

Iron on low to medium heat, preferably on the reverse. For shirts featuring zari detailing, avoid ironing directly over the zari; place a thin cotton cloth over it before ironing. Dry cleaning may also be preferred for zari-detailed pieces.

How to Style It

The relaxed silhouette makes this an easy shirt to dress up or down.

Pair it with ivory or beige trousers and brown loafers for a refined daytime look. For evenings, wear it with black or navy trousers, minimal leather footwear and a simple watch. For a more relaxed look, leave it untucked with tailored trousers, chinos or shorts.

If the shirt features zari, keep the rest of the outfit understated and let the detailing take centre stage.

House of Roh styling principle: Easy silhouettes. Indian textiles. Nothing unnecessary.
