Kartik Research Cotton Knitted Rugby Sweater

A rugby shirt is usually about functionality and simplicity, but Kartik Research turns it into something else entirely. Founded in 2021, the New Delhi label is known for reintroducing humanness into clothing by working directly with Indian artisans and heritage techniques. Here, a delicate knitted pattern transforms the traditional silhouette, giving the piece texture, depth and the irregularity that only hand-crafted work can bring.
