About KHASSEL human apparel:

The Dancing Warrior raises her clear silhouette against the vast sky. The ground beneath her feet abounds with wild herbs and gives forth an intense smell. Sheep graze nearby, their wool sometime later knitted into a thick plush that will keep her warm and energetic on her strolls. Beeswaxed cotton layers shield her from the morning dew. In autumn, acorns provide a deep brown natural dye. This is the season when the calls of the cranes heading south echo with her body and soul: wild and tender.

Dedicating time and experimental handcraft to create distinct yet open and unisex styles are an essential part of the contemporary DNA of KHASSEL human apparel.

The brand’s aesthetics strongly resonates with the sensations of the elemental landscape the Dancing Warrior inhabits.
