CRAFT & MAKING

Lorek Weavers →

• Woven on traditional pedal looms by our Lorek Weavers in Indonesia using slow, ethical production methods
• Each textile is produced in small batches, resulting in subtle variation that reflects the handcrafted nature of the fabric while maintaining consistent quality and durability

FABRIC & FIBRE

• This piece is crafted from 100% organically cultivated, unbleached cotton grown locally in Indonesia. Learn more about our fibres →

COLOUR & NATURAL DYEING

• This piece is naturally dyed using Heartwood of Jackfruit and Indigofera Tinctoria
• These plant-based dyes create soft, muted tones that reflect nature rather than uniform colour
• Due to the hand-dyeing process and seasonal factors such as sun, rainfall, and water minerals, colour variation is expected and celebrated — each piece is one of a kind. Learn more about our natural dyes →

• Cold, hand wash using mild detergent e.g wool/baby detergent (avoid citrus-based products)
• for convenience: gentle cold machine wash
• Do not rub or wring. Air dry flat or hang in shade
• Warm iron if desired
• No dry cleaning is neccesary – harsh chemicals may damage natural fibers, dyes, and the environment

Our plant-based natural dyes are colorfast. However, no dyeing chemicals means small color runs / slight fading may appear where the natural mordant has not taken to the fabric. Refer to our care for more info.

Wear the Lou Shorts with our relaxed Oka Tees for easy daytime dressing, or style them with a lightweight blouse like our Temple Top for a more polished look. Designed to move easily between home and outings, they’re a versatile piece you’ll return to again and again.
