The pieces we love: Varanasi Robe
This piece started with the feeling of slowing down, keeping warm and where getting dressed should be easy.
What inspired this piece
Created for flowing, slower moments. We wanted a piece that was simple and effortless and made you feel cosy and warm at the same time. It’s not one you save for special days – it’s made so you can throw it on when you need an easy, soulful and colourful dopamine hit. It’s one you don’t need to think about.
Why you’ll reach for it
When you need a simple, yet effortlessly cool piece to wear – this will be the one you grab from the wardrobe. It’s designed to be worn at everything from the yoga studio to the farmers market and beyond. It’s about making life easy and simple. Created from reclaimed fabric, each piece is one-of-a-kind and ethically made meaning you’ll know your making a conscious clothing choice.
The feel and fit: how it moves
This handmade robe flows with intention which is how it came about its name. Named after the city of Varanasi — a place long connected to ritual, spirituality and stillness — and where robes are worn in mediative and holistic practices.
You’ll find it flows from the back, whilst the shorter front sides are still big enough to wrap up in (handy for savasana) and its deep pockets are useful for keeping anything from prayer beads to car keys in!
Why it matters
The robe supports circular fashion. You’ll find the odd patched section which has saved it from landfill and means you can truly own an eco-friendly piece of clothing in the knowledge that you won’t find this level of history in any fast fashion piece.
It’s been designed to wear both ways so its more versatile and made into a piece that will integrate into your wardrobe easily and be that boho layered piece that you’ll love forever.
Ways to wear (without overthinking it)
Look one: everyday boho
Throw it over your favourite tee and flares or layer it over a long sleeve black top and black bottoms for a little pop of colour. Layer it for a boho outfit that’s easy everyday styling that lends itself to bohemian style.
Look two: lifestyle led
This robe is so versatile that ways to wear it are literally endless, here’s just a few. Wrap it round you as loungewear for when you’re having a lazy weekend morning - coffee in hand, resting on the sofa whilst reading your favourite book.
Wear it to yoga class and keep it handy at the side so you can reach for it to wrap up in for savasana. It’ll also come in handy as resort wear – an easy throwover denim shorts and a little vest top when you’re visiting temples during the day.
If this piece was your friend…
She’d be the one that doesn’t follow plans – but just goes with the flow.
