From Canvas to Cloth: The Story Behind Our Hand-Painted Panjabis
Where Tradition, Art & Fashion Meet — Only at Karukarjo
In a world filled with fast fashion and mass production, there’s a quiet revolution happening in wardrobes across India — the return of the hand-painted Panjabi.
At Karukarjo, each Panjabi is not just stitched; it's handcrafted, hand-painted, and heart-woven. Let’s take you on the journey — from canvas to cloth — where your attire becomes a living piece of Indian art.
🎨 The Art of Hand-Painting — Passed Down Generations
Our process begins with inspiration drawn from Bengali folklore, nature motifs, terracotta art, tribal geometry, and the timeless charm of Shantiniketan-style painting. Each Panjabi is sketched freehand — no stencils, no shortcuts.
Our artisans treat the fabric like a canvas. What results is a wearable painting, unique and unrepeatable.
💡 Did you know? No two Karukarjo Panjabis are ever exactly the same — making your purchase one-of-a-kind.
👕 More Than a Garment — It's a Statement
Our hand-painted Panjabis for men are not just festival outfits — they’re expressions of identity, heritage, and sustainability.
Whether you're dressing for:
- Durga Puja,
- Poila Baisakh,
- Ethnic Day at work, or
- A quiet cultural gathering...
…our custom-painted kurtas will help you stand out with grace.
