EVERY COLOR, MATERIAL AND DESIGN HAS A STORY

We made a trip to the mountains in the Himalayas and the fjords in Norway. We met local artisans with great knowledge of the textile material and the traditional textile process. Together we create unique shawls and textiles. All handwoven in merino wool, wild silk, yak wool, linen or pashmina wool, most dyed naturally with indigo, eucalyptus, walnuts, tea leaves, pomegranate, myrobalan. We think long-term. We make a difference. SLOW FASHION is the future.
