If you believe in a zero-waste philosophy, have an appreciation for handmade, and wouldn’t mind wearing pieces that are a bit flawed (because aren’t we all?), our IMPERFECTS are for you.

A running thread, a stripe that overlaps another, a stain, a stitch less — to celebrate the uniqueness of these pieces and the people who handcraft them with passion, we are offering these handmade imperfects at markdown prices.

Our Imperfects are still the same in quality as our regular priced Ruana and won’t wear out sooner. However, what makes these pieces different is that they have highly noticeable irregularities, such as patches with an incorrect weave or a colour difference when compared to the original design. All sales are final. 

Zero waste in design, with an included wool belt, you can turn your Beyond Ruana into a boho chic wrap dress anytime. Want to create a sharp look? Replace with any belt you own or even even wear it just as a chic wool scarf.

Can I/others around me see the inconsistencies?

Yes, most of these inconsistencies are easily visible as they could be in the front of your Cape or larger in size than what we typically consider a ‘regular irregularity’. A long stripe running down the front, for example, or a block of extra overlapping yarns will be visible but your Cape will still be good for many seasons and years of wear.   

Why should I buy these? 

If you believe in a zero-waste philosophy, have an appreciation for handcrafted pieces and wouldn’t mind wearing pieces that are a bit flawed (because aren’t we all?), our imperfects are for you.

What if they get worn out sooner?

No, our imperfects are still the same in quality as our regular priced Cape and won’t wear out sooner. What makes these Capes different is that they have highly noticeable irregularities, such as patches with an incorrect weave or a colour difference when compared to the original design. 

Why don’t you sell them as regular pieces if the inconsistencies are so small/not visible?

Technically, we could. But as a brand we are transparent about our processes and pieces. 

Can you show me the exact inconsistencies in the piece I order?

No, we cannot individually send you photos as that’s logistically not possible. However, every product description includes some general pictures that will give you an overall idea. 

We have a soft spot for pieces that are sizeless, natural and versatile. Your Ruana  even has an extra fun element - a belt! An integral part of the garment during weaving and cut away at the finishing stage to ensure zero waste, the belt magically transforms your Ruana into a dress.

Small Batch Production: Individually handmade by weaver Anant Kumar and his artisan team in small batches, each piece is produced at his home in the beautiful village of Kalsi in the foothills of the Garhwal Himalayas.
