IMPERFECT PETITE COTTON Cape Watermelon Frost

This PETITE size cape will be shipped in 1 week.

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 Cape and won’t wear out sooner. However, 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.

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.

Julahas makes a collection of beautiful, fair trade products that they make together with Indian craftsmen.

Fair trade: The items are handmade in India, by artisans who work through an NGO, through a Fair Trade organization, or who are independent. Julahas visits these partners 3-4 times a year. Before starting the brand, Julahas took the time to thoroughly understand the artisans' production process. They find it very important in a collaboration that the values ​​of inclusivity, dignity and diversity are shared.

Environmentally friendly: Julahas works with wool and cotton. These are responsibly sourced from local government-approved communities in the regions where they produce. Some of these small suppliers are certified organic or work in relationship with the farming communities so that the entire production chain is connected. In this way, farmer and weaver can also benefit from each other.

Good cause: The brand plants a tree for every purchase made.

Support locals: Julahas works with old crafts and communities that would otherwise disappear. India has 7 million artisans, but many of them are under threat from industrialization. Communities are falling apart because family members no longer want to work on handlooms. So by offering honest and regular work, they not only preserve the craft but also show that it is possible to earn a good income while staying with your family.
