A beautifully crafted handwoven slub cotton, defined by its organic texture, airy lightness, and artisanal character. At 140 GSM, this sits in the lightweight to medium range — breathable, comfortable, and versatile while still feeling substantial enough for refined garment making.

The defining feature of this fabric is its slub texture, created through naturally irregular yarns that introduce subtle highs and lows across the surface. This gives the cloth depth, visual interest, and a handcrafted feel that sets it apart from flat, industrial cottons.

This is a slow fashion, artisan handloom textile, ideal for makers who value natural texture, understated elegance, and thoughtful craftsmanship.

How the Fabric is Made
Woven from 100 percent cotton slub yarn on a traditional handloom
The slub effect comes from intentional yarn variation, not surface treatment
Handwoven construction preserves slight irregularities that signal authentic artisan production
Lightly finished to retain breathability, softness, and natural drape
Each yard carries subtle variations, making every piece unique
