Mahout
A biomimetic smart fabric that combines the evaporative cooling principles of elephant ears with the layering techniques of hijab design, creating a self-cooling textile that uses embedded micro-channel liquid cooling.

The Wow Moment
A user puts on a hijab or jacket in 95°F heat and instantly feels a wave of gentle cooling against their skin, like stepping into a shaded forest—they look down and see subtle patterns on the fabric literally changing color as it actively regulates their temperature, all while the garment remains lightweight, breathable, and requires no battery or external power source.
