With each collection, we pay homage to the superior quality of natural yarns, and honour the beauty and grace of involved artisanal work from sourcing to refining. Each collection is designed to highlight the magnificence of one particular fibre and textile technique. Although presented as a collection, every handmade item is one-of-a-kind in natural shades and variations in patterns.

The Lotus collection is a demonstration of the extraordinary quality of Lotus, one of the rarest and most sacred fibre in the world. The lotus flower (Nelumbo Nucifera) is an ancient water plant that grows wild on lakes all over Southeast Asia, but only in a few places it has been used for fibre making. In an environment of remote beauty in Myanmar, at Lake Inle, there is a small community of local fibre makers and Lotus weavers, and their story is closely bound up with that of Valma.

There is no need to ban angora from your wardrobe entirely as long as you search for cruelty free wool. Angora rabbits‘ extremely long hair can cause them to choke on their own hair balls if their fur isn’t cut regularly. The Swiss Angora collection is created from wool that is caressed off beloved bunnies in Switzerland. Most of the keepers also spin the wool themselves and dye with natural colours. Or, as we do in our collection, simply work with the rich colour palette of the natural wool shaded from white to dark browns.
