Discover the Difference
Not all Himalayan nettle fabrics are alike.
Himalayan nettle (Girardinia diversifolia) is a remarkable natural fibre traditionally harvested, processed, spun and woven in Nepal.
Our three fabrics demonstrate how different weaving techniques and fibre combinations influence the texture and character of the finished cloth.
-
ALLO: Rustic pure nettle with a distinctive herringbone pattern.
-
FANEEL: Rustic pure nettle with a classic straight weave.
-
LUNA: A softer combination of Himalayan nettle and cotton with a herringbone weave.
Together, they offer a wonderful introduction to the possibilities of this traditional textile fibre.
