This is a lungi. A comfortable garment worn around the waist that extends till the ankles. It’s pretty common in India.

We’re so enamoured by it, that we’ve even dedicated a song to it.

And not just us. Even people abroad are so fascinated by it, they name their kids after this garment.

By selling it on its website.

And BTW, it’s a lungi, not a ‘check skirt’.
