For the tender woman, this poncho displays alternating colors of burgundy and cornsilk. Mexican artisan Petrona Gomez hand-weaves this artisanal poncho from cotton yarns on the traditional telar de cintura, or backstrap loom. Geometric patterns run from the folded neckline, and the poncho's bottom is decorated with fringes.

Like a memory from a serene summer, Ritu Agnihotri’s A-line dress inspires timeless beauty. Cotton textiles create a stunning design, where three-quarter-length sleeves reunite with a V-neckline, a knee-length skirt and two generous pockets. Sapphire hues complete the garment’s classic look, further enhanced by beads in matching colors.

Inspired by textiles from Thailand's Lisu Hill Tribes, Chattima fuses cultures in this elegant navy jacket. Made from a cotton and hemp blend the open jacket highlights Lisu Strips on the cuffs and front opening. This traditional textile is made by overlapping and folding thin strips of brightly colored fabric producing an applique patchwork that is applied to clothing. Chattima sympathetically combines this with hand stamped indigo fabric inserts on the cuff from the Hmong tribe and hand made silk rozettes on the placket. A single hand tied robe button finishes the neckline.

Designed with a high-low hemline and irresistible color, Dani Paraswati's cerulean shirtwaist dress stands out. Hand crafted in Java, the cotton dress features a tie-dyed batik motif, hand-stamped patterns, and a matching tie belt. A round, collarless neckline and row of buttons finish the dress with thoughtful details.

Crafted from soft cotton, this pointelle knit sweater is a season-spanning delight. Patricia Lopez in Peru designs the sweater in a colorful melange of ivory, strawberry, pastel blue and teal. Rib-knit trim finishes the rounded necklace, hem and cuffs.
