Materials & Making
We start with fabric — natural, breathable, and made to last — then shape it through craft-driven, small-batch making.
Fabrics
A closer look at the textiles we work with most—handwoven where possible, and always selected for comfort, texture, and longevity.
Dobby Cotton (Handwoven)
Handwoven cotton with a subtle raised texture. Light on the body, breathable, and structured enough to hold its shape.
Kala Cotton (Handwoven)
A hardy, rain-fed cotton with a naturally textured hand. Breathable and long-wearing, softening beautifully over time.
Vegan Silk
A fluid, silk-like fabric derived from cotton linter. Offers a soft sheen, graceful drape, and breathability, gentle against the skin.
Organic Drill Cotton
A tightly woven organic cotton with a clean, structured hand. Durable, breathable, and ideal for everyday wear.
Organic Şile Cotton (Handwoven)
A traditional Turkish cotton from Şile—airy, breathable, and softly textured. Made for warm days and effortless layering.
Waffle Cotton
Cotton with a raised waffle texture that improves airflow and comfort. Soft, absorbent, and relaxed against the skin.
Artisans & Techniques
Our garments are shaped by hand, using established techniques practiced across generations. Working with skilled artisans in India and Turkey, we apply Kantha stitching, block printing, hand painting, appliqué, and patchwork—integrated into the garment’s design, not added as an afterthought.
Each technique brings subtle variation and a human finish—so the result feels lived-in, not mass-made.
