Light as Air, Grounded in Tradition
This burial shroud is made from Turkish double-gauze cotton muslin — a soft, breathable fabric chosen for its comfort and simplicity.
The fabric remains completely undyed, allowing the natural colour of the cotton to speak for itself. Many families choose an undyed shroud for its purity, neutrality, and gentle return to the earth.
This design reflects the essential purpose of a burial shroud:
to hold the body with dignity using natural materials, prepared with care.
