Description

This midweight open-front cape has an oversized silhouette and drapes over the body with a fluid form. Its thread is masterfully handspun, ensuring the finest and softest yak khullu thread possible. The fabric’s handwoven loose weave is both exceptionally breathable and warm. The cape is made from two square panels that taper to an elegant V-shape at the back. It is finished with fine, long fringing along its two front edges.

Garment journey

Provenance: Handwoven at Norlha Atelier using yak khullu sourced from local nomad cooperatives.
Base colour: Yaks typically have a dark brown coat, but they can also be found in grey and, very rarely, in golden brown and white. Our artisans work with all four yak wool shades, which are either left in their natural state, combined to create different tones, or dyed.
Yak khullu: This shawl was made using the khullu of 7 yak. Khullu is the ultra-fine, downy undercoat that keeps yak insulated during harsh Tibetan winters. Each summer, the yak naturally shed this down, which is then carefully collected by hand.
Technique: Handspun, Handwoven and Handsewn
Artisans & Processes: A team of 17 artisans handmade this piece at Norlha Atelier. During its production, it went through 15 highly specialised processes.
Shipping: All orders are packed with care and shipped from our atelier on the Tibetan Plateau.
