Every brand has a story and so does Kalilo. Our love and obsession for natural fibres is how Kalilo was born. Once we touched and felt a hand felted cashmere scarf one fine day, there was no going back. The luster, softness and warmth of a handspun yak blanket just blew us away.

Bamboo - easy on you and the environment

One of the coolest things about the world's tallest grass - yes it's a grass and not a tree, is that it grows fast - really fast which makes them one of the fastest growing plants.Some species of bamboo grow as much as 4 cm in an hour.

All in all bamboo probably provides one of the best mix of eco-friendly and performance benefits.
