MATERIALS + PROCESS
Produced using sustainable practices that help improve the livelihoods and welfare of our artisan community makers and reduce the impact on the environment.

Masterfully handwoven on a traditional foot pedal loom that creates a unique and unmatched texture. Its hand-spun yarns are naturally dyed by hand at a family-run workshop using natural minerals and plants. Its pattern is achieved using original hand-carved blocks and traditional block printing methods. The complete manual and labor-intensive process result in an overall pattern that is repetitive yet random.
