This old Bordeaux red shawl from Nong Bua Lam Phu is seventy-nine centimetres wide.
Therefore, this scarf is also ideal to wear as a wrap.
On cool evenings, stay outside just a little longer or turn the heating down a few degrees.
And make yourself comfortable while enjoying the super-soft warm fabric.
An advantage of the soft rayon yarn is that it does not itch.
A Bordeaux red shawl with class
The red wide shawl from Nong Bua Lam Phu has a classy look.
Woven by weavers in the hot, dry countryside.
As the land does not yield much, the ladies try to supplement their meagre income by weaving their fabrics.
The shawl can be worn all year round.
The shawl’s rayon yarn shimmers a little.
After weaving, the fabric is washed in Alkaline water with a high PH value.
This makes the scarf extra soft.
The weaver receives a fair price for her work.
She learned the trade from her mother and neighbours.
On her wooden loom, she makes the most beautiful fabrics.
The scarf was woven in “chicken eye” pattern.
Colours matching Bordeaux red
Bordeaux red is a colour that exudes class and style.
This dark colour can be perfectly combined with black, white and grey.
But beige, pink, yellow, blue, green, pink and even gold are also possible.
Of course, this scarf makes a great gift for yourself or someone else.
And is burgundy not your colour?
No problem, we have this shawl in different colours.
But always in a limited edition.
After all, it remains an original and unique clothing accessory that was made for you with love and care.
Weaving, a tradition in Non Bua Lam Phu
Mothers, grandmothers and neighbouring women pass on the techniques to the next generation.
Competition with weaving factories is cut-throat.
The weaver works an average of two days on the scarf and gets a fair price for her work.
Fortunately, many appreciate the quality of the craft.
The beautiful handwork only enhances your appreciation for this fine piece of craftsmanship.
