Handmade in Sri Lanka
Wax,
dye,
repeat
Every length is drawn by hand in hot wax, then dyed in stages. The crackle you see is the cloth remembering how it was made, and it never happens the same way twice.

Fresh off
the frame
A handful of what's ready right now. Each one is a single piece. Once it's gone, it's gone.

Why it costs what it costs
Three days of work
you can hold
- 01
Drawn, not printed
The pattern is applied in molten wax with a tjanting spout, line by line. A printer can copy the look; it cannot copy the hand.
- 02
Dyed in stages
Each colour means another wax layer and another dye bath. A five-colour piece has been through the process five times.
- 03
Genuinely one-off
The wax cracks differently every time. That is why every piece here is photographed individually rather than sold from a sample.
