A narrow ivory banda running the length of a smoke-grey field. Woven on a pit loom by two people working opposite each other, which is why a length like this takes a full day and a half to make. Cotton throughout, no synthetic blend, so it breathes in the Colombo humidity and dries fast on the line.
Because the cloth is dyed in lot rather than printed to order, a piece you buy next season may sit slightly lighter or deeper than this one. If you are matching two pieces for a set, order them together and we will pull from the same roll.
Care. Machine wash cold on gentle, mesh bag preferred. Line dry. Warm iron if needed.
Between sizes? Take the smaller one for woven cotton — it relaxes about 2 cm across the wear. Made to measure is available on any piece in this room; ask the shop.
Repeat customer here. The handloom stuff lasts, which is the whole argument.
Photographs do not do the dye justice. Wore it twice already and the fit held up after a hand wash.
You can feel where the loom left off. Thick enough to hold shape, light enough for March heat.
Lovely piece. I would take one size down next time if you are between sizes.
