Handwoven dhaka panels on brushed cotton
Handmade in Nepal
Cloth made by hand.
Cut to your measure.
Uxal is a small Nepali label working with handwoven fabric and our own patterns. Every piece comes in standard sizes — and in yours, if you would rather.
Woven by hand
Dhaka, allo and khadi from weavers we buy from directly. Slower, and unmistakably not a mill.
Designed in-house
Every pattern is drawn, sampled and corrected by our own team. Nothing is bought in.
Cut to your measure
Pick a standard size, or send us your measurements and we will cut the piece for you.
Why we exist
Nepal has been weaving remarkable cloth for a very long time. What it has not always had is clothing designed for the person actually wearing it — which is the gap we set out to close.

What we are known for
A few of the pieces our customers come back for. Each one can be made to your measurements.
Our workshop, Kathmandu valley
How a piece is made
Three days of weaving, four versions of the pattern
Nothing here is fast. That is not a marketing position — it is simply what handwork costs.
01
It starts at the loom
We buy fabric straight from weavers across the Kathmandu valley and the eastern hills. A metre of dhaka takes about three days on a pit loom, which is why no two runs are quite alike.
02
Then the pattern table
Our own team drafts every pattern, sews the first sample, then wears it for a week to find what is wrong. Most designs reach a third or fourth version before we sell them.
03
Finally, your measurements
A standard size fits most people well enough. Your own measurements fit only you. We offer both, and the second one is the reason we started.
Custom sizing
Standard sizes are a compromise.
Yours are not.
Tell us your height, chest, waist and the rest, and we will cut the piece to those numbers instead. It adds a little to the price and a week or so to the wait. Most people decide it is worth both.
