Work on the new fashion range is in full swing.The name of the range is:
CLOAKtm
What is CLOAK all about?
Cloak is about wearable fashion,
size range 10-24, using natural fabrics such as
SILK-HEMP-BAMBOO-COTTON-WOOL
and combinations of these.
We are using natural dyes
for a totally natural experience.
(We do need to also use some chemical dyes
to extend the colour palette)
We will use hand embroidery, printing,
dyeing, knitting, painting, shibori techniques and
felting to create wonderfully interesting
textures and colours.
The garment shapes will be simple,
made for layering, easy to wear and comfortable
with interesting details.
The style can be described as:
arty meets bohemia with a hint of nostalgia
CLOAK is for all those women who like to be a bit
adventurous without going over the top
and
who appreciate the beauty of traditional hand made
textile techniques
reworked in a modern fashion.
Indigo dyeing in process
Keep watching this space for new developments,
brought to you live from Kathmandu!
