Champa Poo in “Midnight Moon” Handcrafted colours | 100% Natural Dyes 180 GSM Single Jersey | Organic Cotton Bakr’s unisex tee “Champa Poo” in Midnight Moon begins with a base print in rust black—created through a natural fermentation of iron rust and molasses. After an initial wash, the surface is hand-resisted twice using a traditional Japanese rice paste technique. The garment is then over-dyed in our 100% organic honey indigo vat, dipped and oxidised three times for exactly two minutes each. The name “Champa Poo” comes from the Malayalam name for the Ceylon Ironwood flower, a bloom closely tied to the folklore of the Yakshi—an ethereal figure from old Malayalam ballads. Said to be graceful, intoxicating, and dangerous, the Yakshi is often preceded by the scent of Champa or Nagappoovu, lingering in the air like a warning or a spell. These can be made in our new OS fits — oversized but more toned and better fitting than the ones we’ve done before. (We’ll reach out to you after you place your order to confirm your preferred fit and size.) Bakr OS T-Shirts are oversized t-shirts made from 180 GSM organic cotton. CARE INSTRUCTIONS This garment is hand-printed and hand-dyed in 100% handcrafted natural colours. Like fine wine, it only gets better with age—faint bleeds and effects are part of its character. We recommend hand-washing this garment separately in lukewarm water using mild detergents, or using a delicate machine wash cycle. DO NOT BLEACH / DO NOT EXPOSE TO DIRECT SUNLIGHT OR HEAT
