There is something quietly satisfying about a textile that travels with you — from a morning on the sand to an evening draped over your shoulders as the temperature drops. Handmade throws and pareos have long occupied this in-between space: practical enough for everyday, beautiful enough to mark a moment. This collection brings together both, rooted in natural cotton and traditional hand-dyeing techniques.
What you will find here
The range splits into two families. Handmade throws in this collection are predominantly woven from natural cotton, with a significant selection of indigo throws sourced from India. Each carries the subtle irregularities that mark genuine handcraft — no two are identical. The pareos are crafted from cotton-blend textiles, sized generously for wrapping, layering and lounging. Both types lean into the relaxed silhouettes and bold-yet-wearable colourwork that define the boho aesthetic, without veering into anything overly ornate.
How to choose a throw or pareo
Think about where and when you will reach for it most often. For the home, a larger indigo throw in heavier cotton offers warmth and presence — it sits beautifully on a sofa or at the foot of a bed. For travel and beach days, a cotton pareo is the more versatile companion: it can become a towel, a cover-up, a headscarf or a picnic blanket in moments. The cotton pareos in this collection tend toward a lighter weight, while the Indian throws carry a satisfying density without ever feeling stiff. If you are drawn to pattern, look for the hand-painted and hand-dyed pieces — they introduce a depth of colour that machine work rarely achieves.
Ways to wear and style it
Handmade throws and pareos resist rigid categorisation, and that is precisely the point. Drape an indigo throw over a neutral sofa to anchor a room, or layer it with other textiles for a richer, more personal effect. A beach pareo can be knotted at the hip, wrapped as a dress, or simply spread out on the sand. Over time, both types soften with washing and wear, developing a character that fast fashion simply cannot replicate. The more you use them, the more they feel like yours.

Frequently asked questions
What materials are the throws and pareos made from?
The throws in this collection are primarily made from natural cotton, with many of the Indian throws dyed using traditional indigo techniques. The pareos are crafted from cotton-blend fabrics. All are designed to be gentle on the skin and suitable for everyday use.
How should I care for my handmade throw or pareo?
Hand washing in cool water is generally the safest approach for hand-dyed and hand-painted pieces, particularly the indigo throws. If machine washing is preferred, use a gentle cold cycle and a mild detergent. Air drying will help preserve both the colour and the texture over time. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight while wet, as this can affect the depth of the indigo dye.
What size are the throws and pareos?
The throws typically measure around 170 by 120 centimetres — large enough to drape over a sofa, a chair or a bed. The pareos in this collection are usually around 100 by 180 centimetres, giving plenty of fabric for wrapping and styling in different ways. Always check individual product listings for exact measurements before ordering.
Can the pareos be used as beach towels?
Yes, many customers use cotton pareos as lightweight beach cover-ups and towels. They absorb well, dry relatively quickly and fold away into a small bag. The larger format means they offer more coverage than a standard beach towel, which many people find useful for privacy, shade or simply stretching out on the sand.
Are the throws suitable for all seasons?
The indigo throws in natural cotton work well as an extra layer in cooler months and as a decorative or light cover in spring and autumn. For year-round use, they are best thought of as an extra layer rather than a primary blanket. The lighter-weight pareos are best suited to warmer months, travel and outdoor use.
