Woven by hand
In the hot season there is no work in the countryside.
Women then sit behind the loom and make the most beautiful pieces of fabric.
They do this in the same way as their ancestors.
They weave by hand, using the techniques passed down from mother to daughter.
This is how they try to earn something extra.
We visit these ladies and buy their thin batik scarves in indigo blue color.
The weavers are very happy with this extra support.
Fine, thin wire
The fine rayon thread with which the scarf is woven makes it super soft.
This makes the scarf feel very nice.
It is lovely to wear.
It is especially comfortable on cool spring and summer evenings.
