The Alo-Bahmal Collection Story
Every piece of The KRíA begins far from the blue light of a screen.
It starts in the hum of an old workshop along the Great Silk Road, where the air smells of dye and green tea and the looms speak in a wooden rhythm. Here, silk is not a fabric yet. It is a whisper of thread sliding across fingers, a soft shimmer caught between thumb and forefinger as artisans draw it out, twist it, tame it.
A woman laughs as she jokes with another woman and works, hands moving faster than her smile. She has done this since she was a child, taught by someone who was taught by someone before that. Nearby, a young weaver crouches by the loom, feeding the dyed threads into place. The machine is old, the gesture is ancient, but the pattern that emerges is utterly modern: waves of amber, rust, gold and black traveling down the length of the fabric like a desert at sunset.
In another room, two men stand over a steaming vat, dipping and lifting silk that changes color each time it surfaces. The fabric is soaked, turned, watched. Nothing here is rushed. Color is not printed but persuaded, entering the fibers slowly, the way stories soak into a family over generations. Each shade is chosen so the finished cloth carries the heat of earth, the glow of firelight, the quiet strength of night.
When the weaving is done, a long river of silk stretches through the workshop, catching the light. Every centimeter has passed through human hands: spun, dyed, dried in the open air, woven on wooden frames that creak like old stairs. The result is not just a textile. It is time, patience and livelihood made visible.
For the Alo-Bahmal collection, this devotion is counted in hours: more than 32 hours of hand work for every single item: hand-spinning the silk thread; hand-dyeing each skeins of the colors live, not just sit on the surface; pattern compilation, where traditional motifs and contemporary lines are married on paper before they ever reach the loom; weaving itself, each shuttle pass a small act of focus; careful sewing that respects what the loom has created…
Even the hoops on the pouches refuse to be ordinary; they are formed from hand-woven ribbons, tiny bands of fabric that carry the same care and pattern as the body of the piece. Nothing is an afterthought.
Then the journey shifts.
From the looms of Uzbekistan, the fabric travels to the world of Swiss precision. Here, another kind of mastery takes over. Engineers and material scientists work in silence, surrounded by instruments that measure what the eye cannot see: the invisible storm of electromagnetic fields that surrounds our daily lives, especially the phones we keep pressed to our bodies.
The KRíA pouch is built as a quiet shield.
On the outside and inside, you feel the human touch in the color, patter, touch, but sandwiched inbetween the layers lies a high-performance Swiss shielding fabric. This material is of the highest quality, certified according to OEKO Standard 100, Class 1, safe even for baby underwear. It is tested by STR, the Swiss Textile Research Institute, and by the University of the Armed Forces in Munich, Germany.
Its performance is not a guess, but a number: up to 99.999% attenuation of electromagnetic radiation in the tested ranges. In simple terms, it drastically reduces the EMF exposure from the device you carry, while your phone continues to function as a practical companion instead of an uninvited radiation source against your skin.
The KRíA is where the warmth of the hands meets the clarity of the head.
It is the marriage of Great Silk Road craftsmanship and Swiss science: silk that began as a thread between fingers, wrapped around technology that has passed through laboratories and measuring chambers. When you hold a KRíA piece from the Alo-Bahmal collection, you feel the living character of the fabric, each slight variation proof that a person, not a factory line, created it. At the same time, you hold the calm assurance that your everyday companion, the phone, is now housed in something that respects your body as much as your lifestyle.
Owning The KRíA means choosing both stories at once:
the story of the artisan who understands how to coax beauty from raw silk,
and the story of the engineer who understands how to tame the invisible noise of the modern world.
It is a reminder that true luxury is not only how something looks, but how deeply it protects the life that carries it.
The Oaxacan Collection Story
The Oaxaca collection was born in the highlands of southern Mexico, in one of the most culturally rich regions on earth. In the village workshops of Oaxaca, weaving is not a hobby; it is a language passed quietly from one pair of hands to the next.
Martin, the weaver in these photos, learned his craft at his father’s side. His days are measured in threads and colors, not in emails and notifications. Now his 10-year-old son Rafael sits at a small wooden loom, built by Martin’s grandfather, learning the same patient rhythm: shuttle, beat, breathe, repeat. Every pattern carries their family story forward by a few more inches.
During the quietest, hardest months of the COVID years, when visitors stopped coming and orders disappeared, we chose these fabrics directly from Martin’s family workshop. Buying from them then was not a shopping trip; it was a lifeline. The textiles were hand-carried from Oaxaca to the United States and sewn into pouches in downtown Los Angeles, connecting two cities through one continuous thread of craftsmanship.
When you pick up an Oaxaca pouch, you’re not just holding fabric. You’re holding days of careful work, generations of knowledge, and a future for a family that refuses to let this tradition fade. Each piece is consciously made, designed to help shield you from the constant hum of modern technology while wrapping your devices in something human: intention, heritage, and beauty.
Buying one is more than a purchase. It is a small, deliberate act of support for artisans, for family businesses, and for a way of making things that honors the earth, the hands, and the story behind every stitch.
