Every family has a kurta story. The one your father wore to your wedding. The first one your son refused to take off. The one a grandfather kept folded in a cupboard for fifty years. We have sold kurtas since 1972, and we know the best stories are the ones nobody planned to tell.
If you have one, we would love to hear it.
A few questions to start you off
- Whose kurta is it, and when was it worn?
- What do you remember about it: the colour, the day, the people there?
- Was it handed down, or is it still folded in a cupboard?
- What would you like your children to know about it?
How to share it
Send a few lines on WhatsApp, in English, Hindi or Hinglish, whichever is easiest. If you have a photograph, send it too. Tell us your first name and your city.

What we do with it
We will only share your story with your permission, and only in the way you agree to. We will not change what it means. If you would rather keep it private, that is fine, and we are glad to have heard it.
