It was while working on a collection of rugs that Los Angeles-based Denis Colomb was exposed to the artistry of Nepalese craft, which led to the founding of his eponymous collections. Working with small, family-owned workshops across Kathmandu, he creates forever pieces that are made entirely by hand, utilising techniques such as looming, weaving, spinning and dyeing. This blanket is handwoven in a combination of one-ply cashmere and silk.

Denis Colomb works in close collaboration with small, family-owned workshops from Kathmandu, Nepal, to develop fresh colours and weaves for his cashmere – to do so, artisans utilise a combination of new and old techniques. To obtain the finest, warmest fibres, a harvest combines the hair of the rarest goats in April and May of each year, which is delivered to the craftspeople in cloud-like forms ready to be woven and finished by hand. Colomb feels these slow, thoughtful processes make each piece heirloom-worthy, whether it’s a boyfriend cardigan or a block-coloured blanket. Everything is designed in Los Angeles and inspired by his love of art, travel and culture.
