Kota Doria Salwar Suits

Kota Doria is woven in and around Kota with a pattern of tiny squares called khats. The open weave lets air through, which makes Kota Doria suits a favourite for hot weather and day events.

Ask your tailor for a soft cotton lining in the kurta, and you have one of the coolest outfits of the season.
