These fashionable face masks are handwoven in Bhutan by experienced weavers in the Atelier of Kelzang Textiles, using traditional frame looms.
Made of silk woven on cotton, they have unique, intricate, and detailed patterns. No masks are exactly alike because they are individually handwoven.
The geometric pattern “nangong khorlo” is a traditional Bhutanese symbol often found on the national attires, it represents the wildflowers of Bhutan.
Breathable, soft, and lightweight, this facemask is comfortable to wear. The mask is face form-fitting, made to come up just over the nose and slightly under the chin, with a double layer of cotton fabric. You will love to wear them!
