This vest is made from pure yak khullu that has been lightly boiled for a dense, fleece-like touch. Its loose weave gives weightlessness and warmth. It can be fixed at the collar with a brass safety pin (included) or worn with an open lapel and fixed at the chest. It is finished with raw fringing at the shoulders, down the torso and along the hemline.

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 piece was made using the khullu of 3 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: Handwoven
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.
