Ethical and distinctive fashion
The Karawan style: a timeless, mixed-race, refined look with a trendy edge, free from the codes and versatility of fashion.
The lines of Karawan clothing and fashion accessories affirm your value as a unique individual. Weavings of wild silk, linen, cashmere or wool and hand embroidery combine with tie and dye dyes or block prints. It's an approach that supports and pays homage to the exceptional local skills that work with beautiful, noble, natural materials.
Scarves, stoles and chèches
Our silk, linen, cotton and wool pieces drape elegantly over shoulders or wrap comfortably around the neck. Soft, silky pieces woven or printed by hand, and available in a variety of shades and patterns. Our collections will add a personal touch to the most beautiful of occasions, or give your silhouette that distinctive, whimsical or refined touch.
Kimonos
The Karawan collection of kimonos reinvents traditional Japanese clothing in a fuision spirit, with exclusive designs made from cotton, linen or wool. Printed and hand-woven, they showcase French and Indian textile expertise. Wear them open, double-breasted or belted for an eclectic style: street fashion, cocconing or ethnic chic.
Waistcoats and boleros
Karawan waistcoats and boleros are unique pieces made from precious antique or contemporary fabrics that we've found, seduced by their character and beauty. Their rich hand-printed motifs express the creativity of Indian textile know-how. Lighter than a jacket, our waistcoats complement your wardrobe with contrasts and layering.
Pareos
Whether worn on the beach or as a chèche, Karawan pareos combine grace and fluidity. The motifs are printed with a wooden stamp, revealing the sublime, authentic irregularity of the block print. Our designs can be adapted to suit your every whim. An ode to lightness, in pure cotton.
Bags and pouches
Our sets of bags and pouches are handmade from high-quality materials, combining hard-wearing natural textures with meticulous finishes. Whether clutch bags or pencil cases, they slip right into your bag. These unique creations are practical accessories that add a touch of elegance to your everyday life.
FASHION
All our silk, wool and cotton collections are woven or made by artisans with whom we have forged strong personal links over the last 20 years. Our exclusive creations are designed by listening to their needs and resources, with a view to promoting their know-how. Together, we continually reflect on how to keep their craft alive. By providing them with a decent, regular income, our exchanges strengthen the sustainability of their admirable activity.
Ethical fashion to resist fast fashion.
Block print, stitched kantas, old recycled saris, tie and dye, batik, spinning, hand-weaving of wild silk... We are dazzled by the beauty and sensoriality of the textures, colours and patterns, and we are fervent admirers of these techniques that give our clothes and accessories an unequalled vibrancy.
A sunny signature that reinvents codes, combining them in fusion styles that give everyone the freedom to express themselves.
Sustainable luxury that makes sense
Our love of handmade products and natural materials guides our creative choices. Produced in small batches, or as one-off pieces, our collections invite you to experience an authenticity rich in evocations of culture and history.
