Size & fit
See variant Size option (40 / 42 / 44, chest inches)
Measurements are taken flat, with the piece fully open. Handwoven pieces vary by roughly half an inch — that variation is a mark of the loom, not a defect.
Care
Do not machine wash, bleach, or tumble dry.
Spot clean gently with a soft, damp cloth if needed.
Steam on low heat to remove creases. Avoid direct contact with the embroidery.
Store on a broad, padded hanger or fold carefully in a breathable garment bag.
Keep away from direct sunlight and excessive moisture.
Avoid contact with perfumes, sprays, and harsh chemicals.
Handle with care to prevent snagging the delicate hand embroidery.

From the valley
Woven by hand, not by the hour
A single Kani stole can hold weeks of work on the loom. The pattern is built thread by thread with small wooden bobbins, following a coded script passed between weavers. Nothing about it is quick, and that is the point.
