The studio
Cloth first, everything else after.
Nool began in 2019 with four bolts of handloom cotton and a stall in Galle Fort. We buy directly from weavers in Matara, Kandy and Jaffna, pay per metre rather than per order, and cut small runs in Colombo.
We sell fabric by the metre because most of what we make starts as cloth on a table. The garments are the same cloth, cut and finished — not a separate range with a separate story.
Nothing here is mass produced. Shade and slub vary between bolts, and a sold-out piece usually means the loom has not finished the next run.

01
Pay the loom
We buy cloth at a rate the weaver sets, not a rate we negotiate down.
02
Small runs
Short runs keep the work varied and let us sell out honestly.
03
Repair first
Bring a torn seam back and we mend it before we discuss a replacement.
Come and feel the cloth.
