When it comes to comfort, breathability, and conscious fashion, mul cotton—also known as mulmul fabric—is a true hero. Soft, airy, and rooted in Indian textile heritage, this humble yet luxurious cotton is making a powerful comeback in slow fashion circles. At Byogi, our love for hand block printed mul cotton dresses and shirts runs deep—and once you feel it on your skin, you’ll understand why.
What is Mul Cotton?
Mul cotton, or mulmul, is a finely woven, ultra-soft cotton fabric traditionally made in India. It’s known for being lightweight, smooth, and breathable—ideal for hot and humid weather. Often called “woven air,” this fabric was once reserved for royalty, thanks to its sheer comfort and delicate drape.
Unlike regular cotton, mul cotton uses finer yarns, which gives it a more fluid, luxurious feel. The weave is looser, allowing air to flow freely—making it a top choice for natural fabric for summer.
Why Mul Cotton is So Special?
1. Breathable & Skin-Friendly
Mul cotton is a savior during hot seasons. It allows your skin to breathe and wicks away moisture, keeping you cool and fresh all day. It’s especially ideal for sensitive skin or people prone to irritation from synthetic materials.
2. Softens with Every Wash
The magic of mul cotton? It only gets better with time. Each wash makes it softer without losing its strength—turning your clothes into second-skin comfort.
3. Perfect for Everyday & Elevated Looks
Whether you're lounging at home, heading to brunch, or dressing up for a gathering, hand block printed cotton dresses and shirts in mul cotton are endlessly versatile. Style it up or down, and you’ll feel as good as you look.
4. Handcrafted with Purpose
Every piece in our collection is crafted using the age-old technique of hand block printing—where wooden blocks are dipped in color and carefully pressed onto the fabric by artisans.
5. Small-Batch & Conscious
Our pieces are produced in limited numbers to reduce waste and support a slower pace of fashion. You’ll find that each item in our mul cotton collection is made with care, attention, and a lot of love.
How to Care for Mul Cotton
To help your garments last longer and retain their beauty:
-
Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle in cold water
-
Use mild detergent
-
Dry in shade to protect colour vibrancy
-
Avoid wringing or tumble drying
Your mul cotton piece will thank you with years of softness and style.
