There's so much I love about the Istanbul cape - the colours, the many ways I can wear it, the beautiful design! I love the fact that its a sustainably made product and that you get to know the artisans who made it. This piece something that will always stay in my wardrobe!
Andrea B.
Ein super Produkt, wandelbar und toll zum tragen! Bin sehr zufrieden, von der Bestellung bis zum Karigar in meinem Briefkasten!

The cape is a wonderful idea. It keeps you warm and cozy. I wear it under my down coat when it's very cold or windy. I love it because it works perfectly and also because it has the most beautiful colours, it's very stylish, modern and unique. I would definitely recommend this to anyone.
Yesim D.
First cape of my order was a gift for a friend and she is absolutely amazed and wants to buy many more colours :) as she is wearing her cape almost daily. So I am very much looking forward to my Stockholm cape.
Thanks for this very special piece.
All the best to you.

Fabric is beautiful. Cut seems more “bulky” less “drapey”. I’d buy it again buy it again in a different cut/color.

I now have 4 of these capes with a 5th on the way. I absolutely love them. They are so versatile - just enough to throw over an outfit in the summer when the evening starts getting chilly and also lovely and snug and cosy over a jumper in the winter. Not only is the quality fantastic, so is the customer service. I had a couple of queries during the course of my orders and you have dealt with these in a super efficient, friendly manner. I highly recommend this company.

I love my Istanbul cape. It came just in time for Thanksgiving and I was so pleased to have it over the holiday. It’s beautiful!
Mrs E.
Beautiful fabric, and gorgeous colours.
Unfortunately one side wasn’t quite finished properly and started to unravel so I had to sew it up.
Also, I’m very short (1.61 m) and so I tend to wear it on the short side (it’s a bit too long on me the other way): my favourite colour (red) is at the hem this way and not near my face, which is a little disappointing.
It’s very warm and luxurious and I’ve been getting lots of compliments!
Dianne K.
Received compliments immediately. Versatile with so many ways to wear it. So warm and nice to wear with shoulder wrap when chilly. When sitting and shifting positions, it is easy to dislodge a strand from the fringed end. Hope it will last as too delicate of a garment is not fun to wear.
Valerie M.
A bit disappointed actually.... the photos on your website look amazing and when I received my cape, I thought it looked really dull., and looks totally like a blanket. Few people commented on that (‘why are you wearing a blanket??!’)
I bought it because I loved the style though , even if it a lot of money for an item compared to what i usually spend. I thought that this was going going to he the kind of purchase that lasts a life time and that i would be able to use in any occasion.
The shipping time was also really long... i ordered on the 11 th Maynard received it on the 15th of june. I am pretty sure you don’t ship one item at a time, so you knew how long it was going to take way before I received it. Just being aware of it would have been better. Just shows that many people want them ;-)

The colours of the Cape Istanbul are stunning. I first wondered, why it was named after Istanbul. In Istanbul, you experience all four seasons -- and this one Cape translated all those seasons with the use of colour. It's a special piece that I will enjoy wearing. Already people have stopped me to ask about it. Thanks KARIGAR team for making wearable art!!
Seema P.
My office is freezing because of the air-conditioning, so I always carry a shawl or something to wrap around my arms. Then I saw the Cape and the many styles of wearing it. One way is to drape the fabric over the arms and I thought: yes, that’s just what I need! I already took it to work and I think I am going to live in the Cape!
Khimpring T.
Love the cape. It goes with a lot of colour and accessories. Can’t wait to get the second one!
Kristin B.
I absolutely LOVE my cape. It was worth every penny, and well worth the wait. It's beautiful and unique, and the best part for me is feeling like I've wrapped myself in something special that was truly made by hand...almost like you can feel the work that went into it as you wear it. I love what this company is doing.
My new favorite thing to wear under my parka- part scarf, shawl, warm blanket, and hoodie!
Connie L.
It’s been 50F in Northern California and I’ve lived in my cape... it’s versatile, fun, and warm... I’m the one on the right in this picture... it kept me warm in the cool SF bay...
If you’re thinking of buying one, or two, take the plunge and buy it! The quality is well worth the price! Not to mention it’s hand made!
Shira M.
This wrap is beautiful, and I get tons of compliments each time I wear it, but it snags constantly on anything I walk past, and I am very nervous about it unraveling from all the threads that have been pulled! It also keeps catching on the Velcro on my coat, so it looks very frayed, even though I’ve only worn it a handful of times. With what it costs, I’m hoping to wear it for years to come, but I’m not sure it’s going to last.
Tejashree R.
I have 2 capes (cape Cape Town and New York),and I must say, its the most versatile garment for any winter wardrobe!! Love the colours, soft texture, and the fact that you can wear it so many ways, like I have worn my New York cape like a good old scarf also
Shree R.
Absolutely love my cape!! Karigar was so kind to speed up delivery of my cape in time for my birthday, It is a perfect addition to my winter wardrobe, the colours are so vibrant, and the wool is soft and flowy!!
Kristin M.
I love my cape. It’s the most versatile, beautiful accessory to any outfit. HIGHLY recommended.
Charlotte R.
Makes me feel beautiful! I am wishing the weather was colder so I could where it more
Norma D.
I bought this for a friend who travels a lot, thinking it would be a great addition to her travel wardrobe. Instead, it's a rough fabric without much movement to it. It looks cheap. Hate it.
Ciaran C.
I received my Cape Cape Town a few days ago and absolutely love it. Definitely toying with ordering another! The colors are amazing as is the craftsmanship.
Michele S.
I decided to splurge on a Karigar as a present to myself for a challenging work year completed, and I could not be more pleased! I chose the Cape Town, because I loved the colorful panels. It is without a doubt the warmest cape/scarf/throw I have ever encountered. I work from home and my home office can get a little cold; I throw on my Karigar and I can work unimpeded (due to the design - it has arm holes, and does not just drape over your shoulders!) and am toasty warm! When I get too toasty, I flip it around and wear it as a cape. It is versatile, beautiful, and worth the wait. Thank you to the skilled designers and artisans who contributed to my beautiful Cape Town Karigar!
Gudrun W.
Best shopping experience!
Constant updates on progress,
great quality! Great service!
Highly recommend.

Anne F.
Both my daughter and I are really pleased with our garments - excellent value and 'different'. Thank you very much.
Cara W.
I love my cape and the colors are fantastic! I get multiple compliments every time I wear it. What is even better, I love the mission and values of Karigar and knowing that I am supporting women entrepreneurs makes the cape that much more beautiful!
ILEANA R.
Great piece of clothing, fantastic colors, warm, elegant and everywhere I go people admire may cape. I’m very happy with my purchase. Thank you.
Karin T.
Your product is beautyful but unfortunely i’m to strong in my back, so it doesn’t fit perfect....so i have to work on my slim line first :)
Nicole Z.
Great quality, beautiful colors...
Steffi S.
I got my cape as a birthday present from my boyfriend. After the birth of my baby it is my favorite fashion piece as it is not only really beautiful but also very comfy while breastfeeding or carrying the baby.
Petar D.
I bought the cape for my girlfriend’s birthday who recently became a mother of our beautiful and sweet daughter. It’s a timeless fashion peace and very practical while breastfeeding or carrying the child. My girlfriend is very happy with it.
A B.
I absolutely love it! The colours are gorgeous and the design is beautiful can't wait for winter to wear it. I only wish if the fabric was a bit softer.
Brigitte B.
Das Cape sieht toll aus und bietet wirklich viele Tragemöglichkeiten. Allerdings ist der Stoff bzw. die Wolle nicht so weich, wie erhofft. Ich kann es nicht gut auf der Haut haben. Vielleicht bin ich da auch etwas empfindlich. Toll wäre es, wenn es das Cape aus leichterer Wäre für den Sommer gäbe...
Irene H.
Tut mir leid, mein Englisch ist sehr schlecht, deshalb auf Deutsch: Das Cape ist sehr schön, allerdings ist es noch sehr steif. Aber das legt sich denke ich mit der Zeit.
Was mir gar nicht gefällt, ist, dass die Armausschnitte dick mit blauem Stoff eingefasst sind. Das ist auf euren schönen Fotos nicht so zu sehen.
Carolina
Receiving the cape i wished for so long, felt as a great present this week, i realy love it! Knowing that i contribute as a happy customer to so many happy goals, realy makes me dance! Many thanks to all Karigar darlings! #ilovemygarikar
Susanna W.
One for all if you travel a lot like i do. Versible for many styles and many occacions 24/7. Highly recommended
Chiana S.
The reason I am so in love with the beautiful KARIGAR Cape is because it is so adjustable. One day you’ll wear it super casual, the next day with a little black dress and a black leather jacket. The cape is super innovative and unique in every possible way!
Victoria O.
As a blogger who is always on the lookout for sustainable fashion brands, KARIGAR caught my eye when they said the Cape can be worn in 15 and more ways. I thought, wow, now that’s really sustainable! If one Cape can do so much just by wearing it differently, I would get my money’s worth from that single purchase. I’m off to Israel next week and plan to even carry it to the beach with me. Love my Cape!
Laura B.
I bought the New Delhi cape when I moved to England, and it is the perfect layering piece! It's fits well under a jacket for an extra layer on tricky weather days but is also a great, elegant coverup on it's own for staying cozy in the office or on a plane. I've gotten so many compliments on the beautiful colors. It's definitely an investment piece but one you will want to wear year round.
Peggy G.
I got this for my mom for Christmas and she loves it! She has olive skin and silver hair, and the rich jewel tones complement her coloring beautifully.
Stephanie B.
The buying process was easy and I received regular updates on the status of my hand made cape! The cape is beautifully made and looks as described/shown on the web site and in videos. However, it truly is not a "one size fits all" concept; I am a very petite person and it is really too large for me - the width of the back panel and the holes for your arms are much too large and I can't really make it work. Also, the cape will not stay put in the various ways the models wear it; thus it is difficult to achieve the looks shown. That being said, I do love the look of the open, long cape.
Karen W.
I bought the Cape New Delhi half expecting to give it as a gift, but loved it so much paired with a camel or burgundy turtleneck in the cold New England winters that I kept it! Whenever I wear it, I get compliments and questions as to where it came from. I love the socially conscious message of the company. Truly beautiful cape with a host of colors that can take you from fall through summer.
Elizabeth W.
Currently own New Delhi, Berlin & Oslo. Love them all. My favorite travel companions. Would love to see these in solid colors as well.
Sally R.
I first heard about Karigar from an ad on Instagram, and I'm so glad I clicked on the link. I LOVE my cape so much. The quality is amazing and the customer service is unparalleled. I've received so many compliments on my cape--it's lovely to wear something unique that can be styled numerous ways. This is a classic piece that will last for years. It's absolutely worth the price and time it takes to make and receive.
Julia B.
I really like my Karigar Cape. The colors are beautiful and the many ways to wear it are wonderful. I just have two very irregular spots in the cape, they are ok, because it is hand made but I try to wear the cape so that these parts does not show.
Everything else is fine and I am looking forward to wearing the cape very often :-). I also liked the way you kept me informed about the process and the shipping. That was very professional and nice.
Melissa L.
I love my Karigar Cape. Everything about it amazing! The quality of the knit is superior and the colors are beautiful. This is the most versatile item in my wardrobe which I predict will become a family heirloom in time! I love it! Thank You Karigar!
Joanne A.
I was expecting the wool to be softer, find it a bit scratchy. It's summer, so really haven't worn the cape yet, but looking forward to the fall when I can wear it. You show a cute belt in the video. Great if you sold that too
Carin L.
I love my Karigar cape! The versatility and quality are incredible. I wore mine for the first time last weekend and got LOTS of compliments on it. You can dress it up or wear it casually – the video really showed me how to make the most of it. I’m secretly hoping to find a way to wear it that hasn’t yet been discovered.
Kerstin T.
The cape is fantastic and I love it. Very good workmanship and excellent material. What should be changed by KARIGAR, however, is the "one size fits all". I'm wearing size 48 and if it can be a bit casual up to 54 and for me the cape is just too small. I will still keep it and give it away.
Simone
My new karigar cape just arrived and I love it already. The fabric and colours are really beautiful. I expect to use it a lot, because it is so versatile. And the final big pro is that it is made under proper circumstances. Love it! Thanks Karigar for this great initative!
Karen W.
Beautifully made and fantastic quality. I will definitely buy more capes for birthdays and Christmas.
Nicole H.
I'm very satisfied. I like the colours very much, they fit perfectly to my very colouful wardrobe. It is cosy and warm and just perfect for travelling as it is a scarf, a Shawl, a Poncho and a blanket in one. Love it :-)
Cornelia B.
It scratches terribly
Susanna R.
I am absolutely in love with my Karigar Capes! The colours are magnificent, the design and craftsmanship impeccable and their versatility truly astounding! My only problem so far was deciding on which model I should order first with so many beautiful designs being available, so I went with my three favorites for now and am planning to order Cape Tokyo in the future. (Also, if you are planning on adding more designs, I would love to have one in mainly bright red colours - you could call it Cape Madrid, Sevilla or Barcelona... ;-) )
For now, I am the happy owner of the capes New York, New Delhi and Cape Town, and I know I will have fun with them for years! I am looking forward to wearing them in all kinds of styles (not easy to decide on that as well...), in all kinds of weather and on very different occasions.
I am glad to support not only the bright young women who founded this marvelous company but also the rural artisans creating the capes and I am happy that the materials used are being sourced sustainably. Also, Karigar's customer support is one of a kind!!
So, congratulations to the Karigar-team and all the best for the future!

Beautiful colors, wonderful material, cozy, insulating and so many ways to wear it.
And above that the knowing that it's made in a authentic wat nu beautiful people.
Eunice K.
Okay...so the colours are fabulous! Other than that, I am disappointed with my Cape. Being the owner of over 200 other handwoven items, I found this particular wool to be super scratchy. The number of unrepaired skips in the fabric was also very disappointing, and the selvedges were super wonky and not in the least bit straight.
I would have loved to have had some spare yarn included to be able to fix all of the skips in the Cape, and while I know that wool will soften up with wear, the selvedges and skips will most likely prevent me from wearing this piece.
Monica W.
I absolutly love my two capes and I'm wearing them almost every day.
Monisha J.
I really like my cape. It kept me warm on my holiday.
Wish there was more color blocking on the New York cape though!
Would love to see more options in darker colors.
Juel
I am so in love with this Cape. I practically live in it...a stylish extra layer of warmth is always welcome.
Renjana M.
I got the New York cape, and I’m absolutely thrilled, and already wondering which colour to pick up next! I love the range of colours, the design, and the versatility of the cape, but what makes it the most special for me personally (being Indian), is that the artisans of rural India are making them! Special mention to the great customer service and delivery!
All the very best to the three inspiring women who started Karigar, and look forward to seeing more of your lovely designs!

Miranda K.
Ik love it. It's really beautiful. Thanks. Especially Jolijn.
Poornima K.
Absolutely love the cape . I was worried that it may be too long or it wouldn't suit my plus size body. It is light to wear but still keeps you really warm. I received the package on time and it was beautifully packaged.
The only thing that I can think of for improvement is that I wish there were more Fall colors to pick from. Overall , I'm very happy with my experience and the product.
Roland S.
A good businessmodel
a very good Qualität!
Peggy G.
Adore this cape! The blue is intense and luminous, and the wool is a perfect layering weight inside over a long sleeve top, and outside topped with a coat. I got the cape New Delhi for my mom and cape Berlin for my MIL for Christmas, and am already thinking about another color for myself! A great, unique and versatile piece.
Victoria Church
It is versatile, well made, and quirky enough for me.
Karen W.
I ordered the Cape New York. I get compliments every time I wear it, and I love the versatility of how I wear it. Truly a game changer for any wardrobe choice - dressy, business casual, couch comfy. People ask me where I got it every time I wear it. I also love the socially conscious message of the company! Thanks Karigar!
Laura L.
stunning products, great quality and amazing costumer care!!
Christine B.
Excellent customer service!
Jacqueline H.
The cape was a bit big on my frame. Is there any way to size this to a smaller frame? I also noticed the first time I wore it that the ends were fraying a bit. Given how much we paid for it, this is something I'd see if you can prevent from happening.
Beyond that, the color is amazing. If the sizing were a bit better, I'd order several of these.
SGTD BV S.
Beautiful fabric, comfortable, created with care, and how I love the different ways to style it. I now have my NY Cape for 4 weeks and it’s one of my favourite pieces in my wardrobe.
Diana D.
Ik bel dolblij met mijn Karigar (ik heb zowel een blauwe als een groene (de laatste gekregen als verjaardagscadeau)). En het enige voordeel van het feit dat de hitte in Nederland voorbij is, is de Karigar.
Het is nu ideaal als tussenjasje of voor wanneer de airco op kantoor te hard staat.
En straks heerlijk onder mijn jas en als extra vest over mijn kleding.
Ik geniet met volle teugen.
Dank jullie wel!
Ook super leuk hoe het bezorgd werd, met het hoesje en de brief!
Christina B.
Super mooie kwaliteit. De stof valt erg mooi en met het model kun je lekker flexibel zijn. Ik ga deze cape zakelijk dragen, hij is erg stijlvol en vrouwelijk.
Marcella J.
Love the richness of colour and texture. The drape is lovely. I am finding the wool a bit itchy, however. Would love it to be a bit softer.
Laura H.
The quality is very good, I love the saturated colours and it`s so cosy & warm
Petra V.
I had my eye on those capes for a long time. Almost as long as it took me to pick a color. I chose New York, but I'm still smitten with Amsterdam too. I mostly use it as an extra layer when it's cold, but I also wear it on a night out over a silk blouse for instance.

It’s Warm and looks great.

Lovely colours, very stylish yet cosy and warm. Excellent winter buy!
Vassia S.
That's a lovely cape that I got - one of the best buys in the last three years. Thank you so much for that.
Theresa M.
Just got my Cape NewYork and I think I am in love! I know you can wear this Cape in many ways. I've just tried out 4 ways and I think I am already happy. Thank you Karigar for my favourite purchase this year.
Paul S.
I am a big fan and have been buying the Capes and Scarves since the brand first launched! They make such wonderful gifts because they are beautiful and unique. I know that when I purchase a cape or shawl, craftspeople are benefitting from it. I just ordered a New York Cape for my sister's birthday (she already has the pink Cape) and I am certain it will be a wonderful present!
Jami V.
Received my cape for Christmas and I am totally in love! So many compliments and complete versatility. This will be a well-loved wardrobe staple for years to come!
Karine C.
I love my cape! It has been a wonderful summer here so I cannot wear it as often as I would like, but every time I wear it I receive tons of compliments. I am considering buying a second one to have different colour options. Love, love this product, worth every penny.
Saskia K.
Karigarcape in 3 words ? I love it !!! I already ordered another cape ;-) Thanks and best regards. Saskia
Shveta B.
Got my cape! It is stunning. Simply gorgeous. I can't wait for the weather to cool so I can wear it all over town.
Jemima W.
I was so excited to hear that the Berlin cape was back in stock, and thrilled when it arrived. It's so beautiful, warm and versatile. My husband loved it so much that he's asked for one too - I'm about to order the Stockholm cape for him (and I will definitely steal it, too!). Thank you for such a beautiful piece of clothing.
Signe N.
Love the cape. My daughter in law was excited and loved it when she opened the gift on Christmas. The workmanship is wonderful. I like the options for different ways to wear it. Very well done.
Jayne P.
Beautifully made and very versatile. It was a present for my daughter
and she was thrilled.
Lydia A.
The colors and design is lovely but I was a little bit disappointed by the fabric thickness. I imagined it would be thicker/cozier, specially given the price.
Jasmin H.
The cape is all that it promised to be! Excellent quality and just fun to wear :)
MARTINA O.
Wonderful quality... worth waiting for. I got compliments for it, the first day I wore it :) and passed the shop adress on to friends!
Eileen F.
A bit disappointed because after a long wait I did not get the color way I had ordered. Otherwise it’s as great as I had hoped.
Sarah L.
Absolutely gorgeous, well made piece. Suited for office or casual attire.
Sherri H.
I had bought the capes in the summer. Unfortunately I have not been able to wear one yet. But I can’t wait I just know they will be worn daily. They are beautifully made and will be a great fall piece.
Sally S.
Looking forward to wearing it when the weather turns cooler. Impressed with the quality and creativity.
A. S.
Received my Karigar Cape, beautiful colors and nice&warm. The back panel though is a bit narrow and I didn't like the way the finish of the arm holes. Fabric used for that is to coarse and stiff for the wool.
