This stole is made from organic cotton grown in India.

“Double-Face Charcoal Olive” combines a muted olive-green, reminiscent of an olive fruit, with a deep charcoal black.
The pattern appears differently on each side, allowing you to enjoy it as a reversible, double-face design.

The yarn used for this stole is called “Gara-bou,” spun on a traditional Japanese spinning machine known as a Garabou, which was developed in the late Meiji period (late 19th to early 20th century).

The Garabou machine slowly stretches the cotton fibers upward from a small cylinder while rotating them, twisting the fibers together to create its uniquely textured yarn.

Its name “Gara-bou” comes from the rhythmic “gara-gara-gara” sound the machine makes while it spins.

Because the yarn is spun very slowly and with great care, it holds plenty of air, resulting in a simple, hand-spun-like texture.

This gentle, organic character is something that modern mass-production machinery cannot create — a quality unique to Gara-bou yarn.

Here, we introduce a stole made from Gara-bou yarn woven slowly on a traditional power loom called a “rikishokki.”
The yarn is woven into a gentle, waffle-like texture, creating a fabric that feels warm and full of air.

This Gara-bou series is a product by Suno & Morrison — a Japan-based brand known for their thoughtful, carefully crafted textiles.

In winter, it offers reliable warmth, while in spring and autumn it can be lightly wrapped around the neck or shoulders.

Made from 100% cotton, it has a soft, skin-friendly feel — gentle enough for those with sensitive skin and even for babies.

The refined combination of warp and weft colors, together with the warm texture, brings a quiet sense of beauty.
Depending on who wears it, it can gently lift the spirit or bring a calm, settled feeling.

It is a stole you’ll find yourself reaching for naturally — a reassuring piece to keep nearby.
Please enjoy it in many different moments of your daily life.

【Care and Handling】

*For washing, hand-washing is recommended.
If you use a washing machine, be sure to place the stole in a laundry net and select the gentle or hand-wash cycle.
Washing without a net may cause fibers from the fringe to come loose and adhere to other clothing.

Adding a small amount of fabric softener and drying the stole in the sun
will allow the yarn to hold air and regain its soft, fluffy texture.

*Because Gara-bou yarn is spun from “fallen cotton,” which consists of short fibers,
some fibers may cling to your clothing at the beginning of use.
This will gradually settle, but during the initial period we recommend avoiding dark colors
such as black or navy when wearing a natural-colored Gara-bou stole.

Using a clothing brush or a lint roller on the stole can also help the fibers settle more quickly.

*Due to the uneven nature of the yarn, the size may vary slightly.
You may also notice irregularities in the yarn or weave — these are characteristics of Gara-bou and not defects.

*If you find loose threads or fibers during use, please trim them gently with scissors without pulling.
