Looking for a super comfy fitted top to pair with EVERYTHING? We got you, Boo ;-) Handmade with hand loomed Nepalese cotton, these tops are super breathable, keeping you cool in even the hottest Texas summer. These free size tops are made with 3 ties to custom fit yours to your own unique shape ♥️

Thoughtfully designed by Bibi, in Austin, Texas. Ethically handcrafted by our amazing Fair Trade partners in Kathmandu, Nepal. 

  • 100% hand loomed cotton
  • 100% Low impact, azo free dyes

Named after our favorite ancient city of artisans in the Kathmandu Valley. The women of our incredible partner collective in Nepal handloom the cotton, then color that fabric with gentle dyes, and finally hand make each piece. This hand loomed cotton just gets softer and comfier with wear.

Each piece will be slightly different & unique due to the special nature of the handmade process.

Hand-Dyed Clothes

As with all hand-dyed products, some color variation within and between items is normal, and part of their unique beauty.

Hand-dyed products may bleed slightly when wet, so please follow cleaning instructions carefully.

Bleach should never be used on these garments as it can cause damage and even yellowing.

Some things can cause what looks like a stain on plant-dyed clothing, but it's actually a chemical reaction usually reversed with water!

Follow these steps if you notice spots from...

Citrus, Vinegar, Wine, Tea, Coffee & Other Highly Acidic Foods

  1. soak the entire garment in cold water for at least 1 hour (best overninght).
  2. wash according to care label instructions.
  3. repeat if necessary.

Alkaline Deodorants with Baking Soda

  1. dilute ph neutral detergent in warm water & soak garment for at least 1 hour (preferably overnight).
  2. gently rub stains if needed.
  3. repeat if necessary

Cooking Oil, Beauty Oil, Grease

  1. sprinkle baking powder on stain
  2. let sit 30 mins
  3. soak in warm water, then wash according to care label
  4. repeat if necessary
How to Wash Plant Dyed Clothing

Hand wash in cold color with soft, PH neutral soap (some examples are ECOS, 7th Generation, Eucalan, & Woolite)

  • If washing on the hand wash cycle of a machine, washing in a garment bag will help avoid snags
  • Wash dark colors separately
  • Natural indigo is especially prone to color transfer at first. To avoid blue skin, some people choose to wash their new indigo clothes a few times before wearing
  • The colors of plant based dye will mellow over time, adding a whole new dimension to your wardrobe
  • Do not bleach
  • Air dry out of direct sunlight
  • Handle with ♥️
