Warm Bestowed Layers.. the 'Mahala' Coat
Friday, May 18, 2012 at 1:46PM 
Launched in the Australian summer of 2011, styles from our pure cotton label 'Bestowed' are proving instant wardrobe favourites.
Our superfine cotton we have milled in Melbourne, Australia is currently available in a range of tops, shrugs and scarves. So soft against your skin, this lightweight fabric has a lovely drape and handle.
When thinking about the best way to wear pure cotton in the cooler months, the first thing that came to mind for Sarah was working out how to wear more of this divine fabric.
The result was the MAHALA Coat.
With 7m of the superfine cotton, it is a double layer coat that is still very lightweight.
So soft against your skin...
Like all 'Bestowed' garments it has been prewashed in pure rainwater, and because it has the 2 layers of cotton this creates an interesting effect around the pockets and hem, which has been slightly gathered. It was also designed to have a slight assymetry, adding to the drapey silhouette.
While heavier coats may be only pulled out of your wardrobe a limited amount of times, particularly here in Brisbane, you will find the MAHALA a truly transeasonal piece that will be worn over and over.
With 2 cotton ties at the side seams, it can simply hang and be allowed to drape open or cross one of the ties over and secure to the tie in the opposite side seam.
Coming in both a black or indigo colour, Sarah has been wearing her MAHALA over the organic cotton LISETTE dress and bamboo jersey BENITA Leggings from the Rant range this week.
Any of our dresses are particularly nice layered up with the MAHALA.
Complete the outfit with one of our LOOPY scarves or check out our Jewellery section, as the HALO and STRAND necklaces are also made from this beautiful superfine cotton.
Keep an eye out on the 'Bestowed' section of our store, as we have new stock of our SWIVEL tops coming in next, available in a range of colours, and the first styles in our new stretch organic cotton that has been milled exclusively for us in Melbourne also.
