If you have owned a Leia, Ciri or Long Nomad you will love the Arya. She is a combination of all my favorite designs but elevated. Made from soft bamboo fleece, featuring a long minimally distressed kangaroo pocket. The fit is long and wears more like a dress than a hoodie with the bottom being slightly flared. My favorite feature about this item is the zippered hoodie and how it allows for breathability and temperature regulation. The hood is lined and feels thick without wearing heavy on your head. The zip up closure has a brass flower of life emblem that can also be removed if you wish. The drawstrings have a faint sacred geometry print that is also incorporated in the elbow pads. The back of the Arya has a reinforced cinching system so no bulk and you get to choose how tight you would like it to fit. It has a piece of cotton cording and brass stoppers to secure it in place. The arms are long and lighter weight stretch fleece to allow easy movement. This is sans thumb-holes and allows you to roll the sleeves up easily and it not be bulky. Same overstitch seaming that you see on my other designs that really adds character and contrast to this design.

While designing items I think a lot about refining past designs. As I get older I find myself struggling more with sensory issues and the Arya has been a life savor that I haven’t taken off since Ive created it.

Sew Much Love makes artisanal pieces in small batches. Items will vary in color and how dye patterns settle into clothing. This is not a flaw, it’s a chance to own a unique item. I do my best to photograph colors accurately and represent batches with integrity. Please keep in mind lighting will shift colors and monitor screens do not represent colors all the same. If you do not like uncertainty I advise not ordering hand-dyed items.
