Introducing the Frode, a stunning creation made from 100% recycled Tussah silk cocoons that truly embody the heart and soul of Boem! This beautiful silk reflects a remarkable journey. After they process the silk, they send the cocoons to their wonderful community of skilled artisans in the rural villages of Nepal and India.
Thanks to their fair trade partnership, these incredible women spin
the cocoons and the recycled silk into yarns and then weave it into this amazing piece entirely by hand.
Once crafted, they overdye the fabric and apply a unique in-house distressing process, creating a uniquely beautiful finish that captures the authentic Boem spirit.
The Frode is more than just a fabric; it's a celebration of sustainability, creativity, and the inspiring spirit of the fantastic individuals behind it.
Embrace this beautiful journey and proudly own a piece of this empowering story!

Boem's piece requires special care due to its hand-dyed nature, which results in intentional colour irregularities and imperfections. The raw linen fabric is slubby and will crease with wear, adding to its character. Over time, the colour will lighten after washing, creating a vintage stonewashed effect.
The fringing on the hems is secured with guard stitches to prevent fraying but may appear clumped after washing. While linen stiffens after washing and line drying, it softens with wear or steam ironing.
Since this garment is hand-dyed, it will fade faster than machine-dyed fabrics. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight. With proper care, your Boem garment will last and develop beautifully.
