Cashmere Padra Whipstitch Cape
Handmade by From The Road
This luxurious cape is an EXCLUSIVE piece. It elevates one of the season's most coveted trends, combining a cutting-edge silhouette with exquisitely handmade craftsmanship. It was created in the aftermath of Nepal's devastating earthquake this past spring. The design is based on a trip that FROM THE ROAD founder, Susan Easton, took to lower Mustang in Northwestern Nepal to research traditional weaving techniques. Susan collaborated with Nepalese master artisans, taking handspun cashmere from Tibet and weaving it into thin strips, then using the whipstitch to create a poncho piece that could be worn. All these details came together to create a soft, warm and wearable masterpiece with incredible durability and sophistication. One size fits all.
Made of 100% cashmere
Dimensions: 80"L x 28"W
Care: Dry Clean Only
