Pulu, a traditional Tibetan woolen fabric from Xizang, is making waves far beyond the Roof of the World 🌄. Known for its softness and cultural heritage, pulu recently took center stage in the rolling barley fields of Gyantse.
Earlier this month, local artisans and models turned a highland field into an unexpected runway. Against a backdrop of golden grain, vibrant pulu designs caught the eye of onlookers, blending age-old craftsmanship with modern flair.
Soon after, select pulu pieces traveled to Paris, appearing alongside global luxury brands on one of fashion's most prestigious stages. This leap from remote highlands to European catwalks proves that deep-rooted traditions can resonate worldwide.
More than a trend, pulu tells a story of sustainability and cultural pride. Made from sheep's wool, it's naturally insulating and biodegradable–perfect for eco-conscious wardrobes. Workshops in Gyantse also welcome travelers looking to learn traditional weaving techniques.
As winter approaches in the Northern Hemisphere, keep an eye on pulu. This warmly woven fabric is redefining global style by weaving heritage into every stitch 🌾🧶.
