Add some sophistication to your wardrobe with our Maret silk poncho in timeless Slate colour tones.
Skilled women in Ethiopia used a traditional loom to weave this garment from 100% locally-cultivated silk and hand-dyed it using iron filings. Each poncho is unique with the colouring and texture varying depending on the artisan who created it.
Whether it’s for every day, a special night out, or travel, it’s the perfect accessory to effortlessly bring an outfit to life while also providing lightweight warmth, comfort, and coverage.
