A large, featherlight and luxurious summer weight wrap of handwoven muslin.

The simple indigo striped border makes for a simple classic look, while the minimally processed organic cotton that makes up the body of the shawl tells the story from seed to weave, the journey of the cotton from the farmer's fields to the weaver's loom. Beautiful hand tied fringe.

These oversize handwoven shawls are perfect for meditation, curling up with a book, or as a beach cover-up, and are light enough to be worn as a shawl with your favourite outfits.

Sabeth and Anna wear the Float Dress in natural with indigo.

You-Shan wears our Beach Frock Mini.

Chu wears our Float Tank and our Boat Pant.

*All of our products are limited edition, and are naturally dyed, woven and stitched by hand in micro batches.

STORY

This shawl is traceable from seed to weave: The cotton for this shawl was grown and processed 60 kms from where it was spun, dyed and woven by our partners in Wardha, Maharashtra.

The cotton is farmed by small scale farmers who choose to grow their cotton without the use of pesticides and synthetic fertilizers.

The ambar charkhas (small 8 spindle mechanized spinning units) used to spin the yarn for this collection of shawls are solar powered, eliminating the physical labour required to wind the charkhas by hand.

We visited Magan Khadi in March 2022, and brought back a small selection of their beautiful shawls to share. To learn more about our journey, read our Journal.
