Description

This skirt is woven from fine yak khullu and silk, which, when blended, create a crinkled texture in the weave. Its asymmetrically panelled design echoes the ceremonial flags hung in Tibetan monasteries. It falls to just above the ankles, with a long panel at the side for easy movement. With a straight fit, it can be worn on the hips or the waist. It is finished with horn buttons, raw-edge hems, and hand-stitched details.

Garment journey
  •  Provenance: Handwoven at Norlha Atelier using yak khullu sourced from local nomad cooperatives and responsibly sourced silk from Zhejiang.
  •  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 1 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 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.
