Allo
अल्लो — Himalayan Nettle
Allo, the Himalayan giant nettle, has been gathered and twisted into cord and cloth in Nepal's hills for generations. Stronger than linen and softening with every wash, it carries a quiet luminosity that no synthetic can imitate.
Every colour in this collection comes from a plant or mineral: madder root for rust, walnut husk for brown, wild indigo for blue, lac for a deep rose. Nothing is bleached. The fibre's own oatmeal tone is left to show through, so the dye reads as a wash rather than a coat.
Allo is the collection's conscience — proof that the slowest, most local material can also be the most modern.
