From the finest pashmina to comfortable silks, we have a selection of stylish scarves for the discerning man.
Soft cotton handkerchieves handwoven in four lovely colours. The dyes used are azo- free so no nasty chemicals have been used.
These are made for us by ladies in a rural village 100 kms north of Kolkata. They have been taught vocational skills and traditional techniques and the technique used here is a wax resist. As part of a trust, Fair Trade practices are strictly adhered to enabling them to earn a good wage.
The bundle of 3 will be pot luck as to which 3 colours are included unless you specify when ordering. They are all lovely though!
Aproximately 46 cms square.
The care label (which can be snipped out) says hand wash but they can be machine washed, just not too hot! Hot iron.
A fine handwoven merino wool scarf with a raw edge. Grey wool with a slight sheen with three colour detail options. The detail which is woven into the main fabric reminds me of the braiding on a military uniform and is tufted from one side but subtle on the reverse. Quite unusual.

Photographs don’t do justice to these wild silk, handwoven scarves. Available in a selection of lustrous two-tone colourways which change with the light. Only organic silk has this exquisite appearance and texture which can never be replicated by manmade fabrics. A 100% eco product where only natural or Azo-free dyes are used for colouring. Our partners are a fair-trade business giving employment to many weavers, dyers, and handloomers in rural villages thus not only providing them with an income but keeping local traditions alive. Suitable for a ‘dressy’ occasion, but equally happy to be worn more casually with jeans.
Not everyone can wear wool so these are a perfect alternative to keep your man’s neck warm.
Fabric: 100% Organic Silk
Dimensions: 60 x 200 cms
Look After Me: Can be washed cool and gentle, dry iron orDry Clean Only
Soft as a cloud.
These handcrafted scarves are created by expert weavers from the finest pashmina cashmere. Light and fine yet soft and warm, they come in a range of striking colours and patterns. As suited to a casual, jeans and t-shirt look as well as with a city suit. Only certified Pashmina wool is used to make the hand-spun yarn which is then worked on handlooms to make the fine textiles. Our partners are helping traditional herders and the dwindling tribe of authentic pashmina craftspeople keep their trade and art alive.
One of these would make such a special Christmas gift fo him or for her.
Fabric: 100% Pashmina cashmere
Dimensions: 30 x 180 cms
Look after me: dry clean only and keep safe in a storage bag when not in use
Woven from mulmul (muslin like) cotton handkerchieves, these will soften beautifully once they have been washed a couple of times. Hand block printed in vibrant colours and designs for us by artisans in West Bengal.
