Handspun : Natural fibers, drawn out and twisted together by hand to form a yarn.
Handwoven : Handspun yarns woven together using a handloom.
This garment is made from handspun and handwoven natural cotton. From the harvest to the yarn to the weave, the material is made by hand without the use of machines, and without electricity. It is a textile that holds the story of natural and economic sustainability, community and ancient craft.
Wearing handspun and handwoven fabric has a different feeling than wearing industrially produced fabrics; handwoven fabric drapes and breathes with a supple softness, in a rhythm that can only be created by skilled human hands. The feeling is truly luxurious.
Handwork naturally results in variations. We cherish these imperfections for their human touch.
