The multi-tonal cotton fabric is handwoven using several different coloured strands to produce the colour and texture effect. The subtle two tone effect means these fabrics look slightly different in different lights – and can disguise a bit of the rough and tumble of everyday use! Our Monochrome Mix option is woven from black and natural undyed yarn and is designed as a versatile neutral to complement navy, brown, black or grey clothing.Our brass buckles and specialised fittings are handmade from brass by artisans in Kathmandu who hand cut, file and polish local Nepalese brass into shape. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, of historical and enduring importance because of its hardness and workability. Brass offers superior recyclability and overall environmental advantages as it can be recycled an infinite number of times with no loss in properties or performance. Care instructions: Machine washable on cool. Do not tumble dry. Separate dark colours.
