ABOUT THE COLOURWAY
Pink Clay is a deep, muted pink with a soft coral undertone, giving the shade a dusty, earthy quality rather than a bright or sugary feel. The naturally textured banana yarn gives the colour subtle depth and a gentle sheen, bringing out softer and deeper pink tones within the fabric. Understated yet distinctive, this desaturated shade pairs beautifully with greys, cream, navy and denim.

HANDMADE IN NEPAL
AURA QUE has worked with the artisans who make our banana fibre products since 2009. The designs are handmade by artisans in Kathmandu, Nepal, working within a collective certified by the World Fair Trade Organization. Made from plant-based banana fibre yarn, the range offers a vegan alternative to traditional wool accessories, with a distinctive natural texture.
MATERIAL, CRAFT & NATURAL VARIATION
Our banana fibre knitwear is handmade using sustainable yarn produced from the waste foliage of banana plants grown in the Terai farming region of southern Nepal. The plants are cut back after the fruit harvest to encourage new growth, and selling the discarded foliage provides an additional income for local farmers. Hand-knitted for a soft, pliable and comfortable finish, the natural banana yarn is coloured using azo-free dyes. Completely vegan and wool-free, banana fibre offers a distinctive plant-based alternative to traditional wool knitwear.
MORE ABOUT THE ARTISAN PROCESS
- From fibre to yarn: Banana plant fibres are carded to separate and align the strands, which are then spun into yarn. Twisting the fibres together creates a strong, continuous thread, ready for weaving, knitting or crocheting.
- Preparing the yarn: After pot dyeing in small batches, the yarn is prepared and organised ready for production, with the colours and quantities needed for each AURA QUE design distributed to the artisans.
- Knitting by hand: Each piece is knitted entirely by hand: the flexible, textured fabric is built up stitch by stitch. The artisans follow each design carefully to create the required shape and fit, incorporating openings, edges and other details as they knit.
- Finishing & checking: Once the piece is complete, loose ends are secured and each piece is carefully finished and checked. Small variations in the stitches and texture give every piece its own character.
