Where our scarves come from
Our handwoven scarves come from Thailand. We travel all over the country visiting small communities in search of beautiful, good quality scarves.
During the dry season there is no work on the land in the rural areas. Then the women in small, poor villages, put themselves behind the loom. They try to earn extra money with their handicrafts. And they are happy with the extra income.
You hear laughter, singing and chatter as the women, usually middle-aged or older, weave the loose threads into a beautiful scarf. It takes two to three days for the average hand-woven sustainable scarf to be ready.
The ladies are proud and critical of their own work and compare each other’s fabrics. You can hardly have a better quality mark. Made with love from the heart is certainly not an exaggeration.
Sustainably made
The loom on which our weavers make their scarves does not require electricity, oil or whatever. The ladies weave the most beautiful scarves with their own energy and muscle power. That in itself is sustainable, but the major environmental benefit comes from the paint that is used.
That paint comes straight from nature. Nature is spared when making the dye and dyeing our scarves. As a result, rivers remain clean, no fish die and the soil is not polluted.
A fair price
In such a small community there is often a shop or person who collects the finished products and tries to sell them. We purchase the scarves from such a local contact. Because we want to support this good work, we don’t haggle excessively and we always buy at a fair price that benefits the community.
Nice and soft
Most scarves are washed in a bath of Alkaline water. The high pH value of the soft water makes the fabric supple and soft.
A good cause around your neck
With the purchase you help to preserve this beautiful craft. You help poor villagers through the winter.
And these ladies thank you for that.
