Presence, in a single drape.
Made for
- The mornings you want to be covered but not closed in. A walk, a long flight, an hour on the cushion, the evening it turns cold.
- Anyone who wants their hands free while they’re wrapped up. The arm slits mean you can wear it while you’re actually doing things.
- Part shawl, part poncho. Entirely its own thing.
How it fits
- One size in two widths: S/M and L/XL.
- Open, unstructured drape. Layers over everything.
- S/M fits shoulders up to 16.5″; L/XL up to 18.5″.
- Model is 5′8″ and wears an S/M.
The fabric
- Khadi is handwoven pure cotton, spun and woven entirely by hand. The practice has existed in India for nearly 5,000 years. Every Sovereign piece is made from it.
- Here it is at its lightest and most open: the airiest weave in the collection, almost weightless, but you feel it.
- Light enough for summer heat, layerable for cool mornings.
- Non-toxic dyes. No synthetics.
Where it’s made
- Handwoven in a handloom cluster in India by artisans who have practiced this craft across generations.
- Ecru, Light Blue, and Brown, all dyed without toxic chemistry.

Caring for Your Sovereign Pieces
Our garments are made of handwoven Khadi cotton — a living fabric that softens, settles, and grows more beautiful the more you wear it. That's the quiet magic of cotton and the handloom. A few small rituals will help your pieces last for years.
Will the color bleed?
No. Each piece is double-fastened and holds its color in water. One gentle note from nature: if you work up a real sweat — a long dance, a hot afternoon — your body's pH can occasionally interact with the dye. Nothing a proper wash won't settle.
Everyday care
Hand wash in warm water with a mild soap. Air dry. Please, never bleach and never tumble dry. Warm iron or steam before wearing.
On the longer days
Life isn't always hand-wash slow. When you need to, your Sovereign pieces can go through a delicate cycle — or a regular cycle inside a delicates bag. Air dry afterward; skip the tumble dryer.
A note on darker pieces
Wash your darker colors separately, in cold water, to keep them deep and true and free from fading.
Made by hand, by design
Every piece is hand dyed and handwoven, so slight irregularities are not flaws — they're the signature of the artisan and the loom. No two are exactly alike, just as it should be.
