No machine was involved in making this grass-green summer scarf with salmon pink and white.
It is made in the age-old Thai tradition of respecting nature and beauty.
The yarn is dyed and woven by an experienced village weaver.
This is the result of days of work with care for detail and beauty.
Sustainably grown cotton
The scarf is made of cotton grown and harvested in a sustainable way.
Farmers cultivate the land on a small scale without pumping rivers and lakes dry.
The annual rainy season provides sufficient irrigation.
Nature thus provides variable harvests, making organic cotton scarce and expensive in Thailand.
Yet the result makes the effort more than worth it:
There is no environmental damage and the high-quality fabrics stand the test of time with ease.
Thus, this scarf lasts a long time and does not wear out quickly.
And wearing it for a long time with pleasure and pride is also better for your wallet.
Handwoven
This scarf from TheHappyScarf does not come from the factory.
It has been carefully hand-woven thread by thread by experienced artisans on a wooden loom.
To do so, they used old techniques they were passed down from previous generations.
The result is an original handmade garment you won’t find anywhere else.
A summer scarf for indoors or outdoors
In most parts of Thailand, the temperature is quite high by European standards.
Always warm, therefore, and thus ideal weather for a loosely woven and not too warm scarf.
This scarf is therefore particularly suitable for the warmer months.
It is ideal on cool summer evenings.
Or indoors when the heater is not on yet.
The scarf falls smoothly around your neck and feels cool.
This is due to the fine thread with which it is woven.
– Suitable for summer, spring and autumn
– Finely woven with thin yarn
Coloured with flowers and plants
The colour of this scarf is sourced using age-old techniques from raw materials that grow in nature.
Flowers, plants, seeds, bark and even earth dye our fabrics.
Often these raw materials grow near the weaver’s village and she learned from her (grand)mother how to extract the colour from them.
Before weaving, she dipped the yarn several times in this sustainable dye.
This way, the traditional craft of dyeing and weaving is preserved.
