Description

Two-ply, light, gauzy linen shawl with a mix of stormy ebony and cool indigo “clouds” — mekka means cloud in Thai,   Raw, unfinished hems underscore the piece’s wabi sabi character.  Each shawl is unique and one-of-a-kind.

Created exclusively for Tikkiwallah by Khun Siripohn, a master of Thai and Japanese indigo dye techniques. She plants kram and Indian indigo at her studio/farm in Chiang Dao, and ferments her own indigo pots. To create this shawl, Khun Siripohn uses a technique called mura-kumo shibori. In Japanese, kuro means cloud, and mura means uneven.

Market-bought gauze linen. Natural ebony and indigo dyes.
