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.

Light, draping, and quietly enveloping — the easy outer layer for post-practice moments, meditation, and slow days at home.

The Mizar Kimono was created by Cornelia Kauhs, founder of Breath of Fire. Cornelia designed it as a versatile companion piece — a long, fluid layer that drapes around the body and brings a sense of ease the moment it's worn. The long double belt can be tied loosely for an open silhouette, or wrapped and secured for a closer, robe-like feel.

What makes it unique

Featherlight bamboo & organic cotton jersey — 155 g/m², beautifully soft and gently cooling against the skin.
Long double belt — adapts to your mood: open and flowing, or wrapped and secured.
Generous, draping cut — flows naturally around the body, never restrictive.
Single deep colour — Dark Purple, a quiet shade that ages beautifully.

Best for

Post-practice warmth and savasana cover-up
Meditation, breathwork, and slow morning rituals
Loungewear at home, layered over a tank or top

Honest note on practice style

The Mizar is a soft, draping layer — not a structured jacket. For a shorter, more sculpted wrap in organic cotton jersey, see our Amba Wrap Shirt. For a long-sleeve multi-tie version in mercerized organic cotton, look at the Talya Wrap Shirt.

Honestly made — the story behind our Evolve collection

This piece comes from our Evolve collection — and there's a small story behind it. In 2019, when Covid disrupted supply chains, our family atelier in Portugal lost access to certified organic cotton. To keep the brand alive and honour our promise to natural fibres, we found a wonderful partner workshop in Turkey — fully solar-powered, certified, and run with the same ethical care we hold dear. We were genuinely happy to produce there.

Today, we have returned to our original Portuguese family atelier for the rest of our collections. The human warmth, the respect for skilled Portuguese artisans, and the quality we find there is something we have not seen anywhere else in the textile industry — and that's where our heart remains. Since 2009.

Material: 70% bamboo viscose + 30% organic cotton.
Fabric: Bamboo–organic cotton jersey, 155 g/m².
Feel: Featherlight, fluid, gently cooling, naturally draping.

Styling tip

Wear it open over our Aurora Bra and Vega Leggings for a tonal Evolve look, or layered over a Sohang Top and Sohang Pants for slow morning practice and journaling.

The Mizar Kimono is designed with a relaxed, free-flowing fit that flatters all body types. Use the double belt to define your waist or wear it open for a draped silhouette.

Aurora bra Vega leggings

The outer layer that completes the silhouette

The Mizar Kimono was designed as the outermost layer of the Breath of Fire wardrobe — a piece that brings cohesion and softness to the full silhouette. Worn over the Vega Yoga Leggings and the Aurora Yoga Bra, it completes the set with fluid movement and a sense of calm refinement.

The flowing lines of the Mizar Kimono balance the closer fit of the pieces worn underneath, creating contrast without tension. Whether left open for effortless layering or tied with the double belt for a more structured look, it adapts naturally to moments of practice, pause, and daily life.

Rather than a standalone garment, the Mizar Kimono belongs to a considered system — designed to layer easily with other Breath of Fire pieces and to support comfort, presence, and quiet confidence on and beyond the mat.
