Two villages in Portugal makes your clothes

Near Porto, in Portugal, two small family businesses work side by side for us. The first, in one village, knits our organic cotton from scratch and dyes it to our specifications. The second, in the next village, cuts and sews. We have been visiting both every year since 2009. We know the people by name. We share meals when we visit. They have watched our collections grow alongside their own children.During the Covid years, when organic cotton and bamboo became briefly impossible to source in Portugal, we found a second family workshop in Turkey — also ethical, also certified, also personal. About 5% of what we make passes through their hands today. The Mizar Kimono and a few Lilac pieces from past collections come from there.Most yoga brands buy fabric from a market — pre-made rolls, ready to cut. We don't. Every meter of jersey we use is knitted from scratch to our specifications. That is why the Sohang feels the way it does. That is why a five-year-old pair softens instead of wearing thin.A slower way of making clothes. Sometimes inconvenient. Always worth it.

The slow choices we keep making for sustainability

Sustainability for us is not a marketing department. It is a series of small, sometimes annoying choices we have made since 2009.We chose certified organic cotton when it was 40% more expensive than conventional or plastic fabrics. We still pay that premium today. We grow without external capital which means we cannot afford to overstock, so we don't. We use every meter of yarn we order, even when it means smaller runs and longer waits. We are 100% self funded and all the money is placed in ethical funds in a local bank.We focus on evergreen pieces, the Sohang, the Amrit, the Amba instead of seasonal collections. Some of these designs are over a decade old and still our bestsellers. A garment worn for ten years on a body is the most sustainable thing a fashion brand can make.Our fabrics are dyed with processes gentle enough for a baby's skin. We package in either recycled or biodegradable bags. We ship from our small warehouse in Cully (Switzerland) or our partner in Germany, never overseas.We don't tick every box. We are not perfect. But these are the choices we make, and we make them visible.

What materials we use?

We work with three fabrics. Three. Not thirty.Brushed Organic Cotton Jersey (220g, made in Portugal) soft, slightly thick, with a peach-skin touch. Our flagship. The Sohang, Yamala and Mahan are knitted from this.Mercerized Organic Cotton Jersey (180g, made in Portugal) lighter, smoother, with a subtle natural sheen. Our new Essence Collection uses this for models like Ankaa, Nashira, Maia.Bamboo Viscose blended with Organic Cotton (made in Turkey) cool, breathable, fluid. Used for the Lilii pants and the Mizar Kimono. Bamboo regrows in three to five years, without replanting and without irrigation.Most pieces include around 8% certified elastane, enough to hold shape over years of wear, without losing breath.We use every meter of yarn we knit. What we don't sew, we save for repairs and samples. Nothing goes to waste.

Three generations of women to design

Three generations of women.My grandmother Johanna sewed evening dresses by hand. Long, careful, beautiful work, a kind of patience that has all but disappeared.My mother, Cornelia, learned from her. In 2009, she founded Breath of Fire. The very first piece she designed, the Sohang, was created on the floor of her living room in Switzerland, with a yoga teacher friend named Christina. It is still our flagship today, seventeen years later.Today, I ( Pernelle) run the brand. I do not redesign what works. I extend it. The Essence Collection, launched in 2025, sits beside the Evergreen line. New silhouettes, same intention.We do not design for trends. We design for the body in practice, for the moment when the breath deepens, when the posture lengthens, when you forget what you are wearing.That is the test of a piece. Forgetting it on. Returning to it.

Talya Wrap Shirt — Mercerized Organic Cotton Multi-Tie Yoga Wrap with Long Sleeves

€76,00 EUR

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Color: White

In stock
Inventory on the way

Fluid, adaptable, and quietly refined — a wrap top designed to tie in multiple ways, including behind the back.

The Talya Wrap Shirt was created by Cornelia Kauhs, founder of Breath of Fire. Its wrap silhouette crosses softly at the front and ties without effort, allowing the fabric to follow your shape rather than define it.

As you move — arms raised, body stretching, breath deepening — the Talya stays with you. Nothing pulls or shifts. The long sleeves gather gently at the wrists, framing movement while keeping a sense of softness and ease.

What makes it unique

Multi-tie construction — designed to be tied at the front, at the hips, or behind the back, depending on the silhouette you want.
Slightly shorter wrap silhouette — lighter and shorter than our Amba, easy to layer over a tank, a T-shirt or a dress.
Long sleeves gathered at the wrists — frame the movement, keep the warmth where it matters.
Mercerized organic cotton, 180g — light, smooth and breathable, with a subtle natural sheen. 92% certified organic cotton · 8% elastane for soft drape and gentle stretch.

Best for

All yoga styles — as a warmup or cool-down layer
Meditation and pranayama — light warmth without weight
Layering — over a tank, a T-shirt, or a longline top
Everyday wear — a refined wrap to throw on with jeans, a skirt or a dress

Honest note on fit

The Talya is a multi-tie wrap shirt in lighter mercerized cotton. If you're looking for something different, we genuinely recommend:

The Amba Wrap Shirt — a longer wrap in our 220g brushed jersey, with simpler front-tie or worn open. Warmer and more enveloping.
The Mizar Kimono — a fluid kimono layer that drapes naturally, without ties.

Ethically made in Europe

Every Talya Wrap Shirt is knitted, dyed and sewn in Portugal, in the same small family workshop as our Sohang Pants — a place we visit personally. All fabrics are certified organic and dyed with processes gentle enough for a baby's skin.

Styling tip

For a refined silhouette, choose the same colour for your Talya and your bottoms. Worn over the Amrit Long Tank or the Lunara Longsleeve in a tonal palette, the Talya creates a continuous vertical line that visually elongates the body. Tie at the front for a structured silhouette, or behind the back for a sleeker, more minimal line.

Size guide

Size	EU	Fit notes
XS	34–36	Close wrap for petite frames
S	36–38	Balanced wrap for slim builds
M	38–40	Balanced wrap for everyday wear
L	40–42	Relaxed wrap for taller or curvier silhouettes
XL	44–46	Generous wrap with extra ease

Between two sizes? Size down for a closer wrap — size up if you want to tie comfortably behind the back.

*Measurements are indicative; a tolerance of ±2 cm is normal due to the fabric and production process.

Care

Machine wash at 30°C, inside out, with similar colours. Air dry only — no tumble dryer. This preserves the elastane and keeps the natural sheen of the mercerized cotton for years.

Size & Fit

Runs true to size with a close, body-following fit.

The Talya Wrap Shirt crosses softly at the front and ties at the side. The wrap can be adjusted at the waist or worn slightly lower on the hips, depending on how you like to drape it.
The long sleeves gather gently at the wrists, framing the arms without restricting movement.
