Handloomed Recycled Wool Scarf/Shawl- Striped

Description

Presenting our handmade recycled wool scarf, made with love and care in the beautiful country of Nepal.

This scarf is not just a stylish accessory to keep you warm, but it's also an ethical and sustainable choice that supports fair trade, social enterprise & the movement towards a circular economy.

Our scarves are made using high-quality wool that has been recycled from old garments and blankets, ensuring that no new materials are wasted in the process. The wool is then handwoven by skilled Nepalese artisans who have years of experience in traditional textile craftsmanship.

By purchasing this scarf, you are not only supporting these talented craft producers but also making a positive impact on rural communities in Nepal. Our social enterprise provides educational and medical support to these communities, enabling them to improve their standard of living and build a better future for their families.

Each scarf is unique, with its own design and rich colour palette, making it a one-of-a-kind piece that will stand out in any outfit. Whether you wear it on a chilly day or as a statement accessory, our handmade recycled wool scarf is a beautiful addition to your wardrobe.

These scarves are large so can be worn as a shawl. Great for keeping snug during chilly evenings. Also works well as a luxurious throw for your sofa.

Easy to fold up and carry in a bag when you don't want a coat, so it's there when you want an impromptu sit on the grass, on a wet bench or an evening in a beer garden.

What we love? Cosy soft quality, durability and versality.

Why did we purchase? Ticks a lot of our boxes- both ethical and sustainable. Supports traditional crafts.
