As an authentic, handwoven textile crafted on a traditional back-strap loom, this piece may contain minor imperfections and unique variations. These are not flaws, but rather cherished hallmarks of its genuine, handmade origin. Slight irregularities in the weave and subtle variations in the natural dye colours are a testament to the artisan’s hand and the time-honoured process used to create it. We believe these details add to the unique character and story of each textile, confirming its place as a one-of-a-kind work of art.
