INDIGO ROBE
INDIGO ROBE
This baby is made from a lightweight handwoven cotton (about the same thickness as flannel but sans fuzziness). Over time the cotton will soften into a buttery texture while maintaining an elegant crispness. This cotton weight (like a smooth linen) is ideal for wearing as a dress, but can also be worn as a light jacket. All robes come with a long belt (same length as the collar) for beautiful tying and knotting.
Indigo will gradually fade into gorgeous hues in the blue rainbow. Aged indigo is perhaps the most beautiful.
***Ideal situation for wearing this: After climbing out of the Aegean Sea, slip on this crisp robe, throw on a pair of simple leather slides and enjoy a bowl of raspberries with your lover.
The naturally dyed denim is handwoven by the Ali family (4 generations) outside of Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. Heritage weaving is an important part of the local economy and history, and sadly, is a dying craft. The Ali family weaves cloth specifically for LILY FORBES with fibers naturally dyed in a small, family-run, safe, clean facility in Moradabad, Uttar Pradesh. The cotton threads are dyed by third generation natural dyer, Mahesh.
