The story behind
It all begins with an immense cloud of Mongolian yak wool. Under their thick and coarse hair, yaks have a soft down, khullu, that they shed in the spring time. This downy fiber catches onto the bushes of the Tibetan plateau and is then harvested by hand. Rare and noble, this precious down was, for centuries, reserved exclusively for emperors of the Forbidden City. In Nepal, expert hands would go on to craft it into blankets with a full and soft feel, featuring unique colors. Every step of this metamorphosis is carried out by hand, from the skein border to the flatlock stitching. Spun and woven on traditional looms with meshing needles, the fabric is given as many dye baths as the chosen motif requires. The colors stream out, forming a subtle halo, mixing when they interact, creating new hues. Finally, each piece features an H in reverse.
