About The Turmeric Yellow Colourway
Turmeric Yellow forms part of our prayer flags-inspired colour palette, drawing on the yellow prayer flags traditionally associated with the element of earth. In Tibetan symbolism, yellow prayer flags represent stability, grounding and the physical aspects of life, giving this colourway warmth, reassurance and an uplifting everyday presence.
Many customers had asked us for a warmer alternative to our outgoing Mustard Yellow — something softer, earthier and easier to wear. The result is Turmeric Yellow: a rich golden shade inspired by the spice turmeric, a foundational ingredient in Nepali dahl known for its warm earthy flavour and vibrant yellow colour.
The brightness of the yellow is softened beautifully by the darker woven warp threads, creating a more relaxed and textural finish than a flat bright yellow fabric. The result is a grown-up yellow that lifts your look and brings warmth to everyday outfits without overpowering them.
The multitonal handwoven cotton creates subtle movement throughout the weave, allowing the colour to shift gently in changing light while helping disguise some of the rough and tumble of everyday use.
Turmeric Yellow works beautifully with denim, navy, charcoal, cream, black, earthy browns, olive greens and natural linen tones.
As each bag is individually handmade and the yarn is hand dyed in small batches, slight colour variations may occasionally occur between batches. Lighting, photography and screen settings can also affect how colours appear.

Please note that, unlike smaller structured shoulder bag styles, the zip ends of this larger tote are intentionally left unattached. This thoughtful construction allows heavier loads to be carried without placing strain on the fabric where the zip ends would otherwise be fixed, helping prolong the lifespan of the bag over time.
Handwoven Cotton With Subtle Colour Variation
The multitonal cotton fabric is handwoven using several different coloured strands to create subtle depth and texture throughout the weave.
This soft woven finish allows the Turmeric Yellow colourway to shift gently in changing light, while also helping disguise some of the rough and tumble of everyday use.
The yarn is hand dyed in small batches, meaning every JOGI bag carries its own slightly individual character.
