Tibetan Shirt Dress
This wrap shirt dress is made from an incredibly light and softly textured yak khullu and silk blend. Long and loose with an asymmetrical cut, it features set-in sleeves with oversized cuffs that split at the hand. Its collar references traditional Tibetan tailoring and features a quilted fold at the chest. Miniature horn buttons run from the neck down the side and are fastened with knotted yarn loops.

- Composition: 50% Yak & 50% silk
- Base colour: Natural Grey Base
- Care: Eco dry clean only.
- 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 shirt was made using the khullu of 2 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.
