About The Cloudy Grey Colourway
This Cloudy Grey colourway is soft, calm and versatile — inspired by the pale faded tones of white Tibetan prayer flags moving gently in mountain wind.
In Tibetan tradition, white prayer flags represent the air and wind element, symbolising purity, healing and the breath of life. This feeling of softness, openness and lightness is reflected in the Cloudy Grey weave.
Unlike many greys, this fabric is not overdyed. The warm off-white tones running through the weave are the natural undyed colour of the cotton weft, creating subtle depth and texture throughout the fabric.
Close up, the monochrome contrast feels visually and texturally rich, while from a distance the overall effect softens into a calm pale grey — giving the colourway its name: Cloudy Grey.
Think misty skies, weathered stone, soft cloud cover and natural woven textures.
This makes Cloudy Grey a particularly versatile neutral: light and bright without feeling stark, practical without feeling heavy.
The two-tone weave also helps disguise some of the signs of everyday use between washes, making it especially useful as a lighter-coloured everyday bag.
It pairs beautifully with denim, charcoal, navy, black, cream, olive, rust, soft pinks and other natural earthy 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, screen settings and photography can also affect how colours appear.

Regular & Tall Strap Options

| Strap Option | Strap Length | Best For |

| Tall | 126cm | Taller wearers, broader bodies, larger busts, winter layers or a lower crossbody drop |
The Tall strap option is especially useful if you often find crossbody bags sit too high or feel restrictive across the body.
The 6cm-wide strap is designed for comfort across the shoulder and body, helping the bag feel easy to wear while shopping, travelling, commuting or walking.

A Grey Crossbody Bag For Everyday Use
The GYANI is designed for hands-free everyday practicality. It has room for essentials such as a purse, phone, keys, notebook, book, small water bottle, sunglasses, snacks or travel extras.
The zip closure helps keep belongings more secure while shopping, travelling, commuting or moving through busy places. This grey cross body bag is designed for comfort, movement and real everyday usefulness.
Its soft shape makes it feel lighter and easier to wear than stiff structured handbags, while still offering practical capacity for daily life.
Zip Closure, Lining & Practical Details
The GYANI has a zip closure and black cotton lining, making it more practical than an open everyday bag.
The long strap keeps your hands free while walking, travelling, shopping or running errands, while the relaxed slouchy shape sits comfortably against the body rather than feeling rigid or bulky.
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 fabric.
This soft woven finish means the Cloudy Grey colourway can appear slightly different in changing light while the two-tone weave helps disguise a little of the rough and tumble of everyday use.
The yarn is hand dyed in small batches, meaning each bag has its own slightly individual character.
Handmade In Nepal By A WFTO-Certified Collective
The GYANI crossbody bag is handmade in Kathmandu, Nepal by artisans working within a World Fair Trade Organization certified collective.
Each bag is individually stitched and finished by skilled makers, including women supported through long-term fair employment opportunities.
Small variations are part of the beauty of handmade production and help give every piece its own individuality.
