Aloe Vest - Handwoven Denim - Indigofera

The Aloe Vest designed to do a little bit of everything: layered beneath a coat, over a sweater, or worn to bring an entire outfit together. An easy, versatile piece that adds an extra layer of warmth and texture wherever it is worn.

Made with artisan cloth - a naturally dyed cotton with tiny flecks of the plant material throughout. Unlike industrial denim woven by machines at high speed, our handwoven denim is created slowly, one length at a time, by skilled village weavers in South India. The fabric carries the subtle variations, texture, and character that only human hands can impart. Each thread is organized, warped and woven, creating a denim with remarkable depth, softness, and life—qualities that become even more beautiful with wear.
