Story

A square scarf with endless possibilities: wear it around your neck, on your head, tied to a bag — anything goes. I wasn't originally intending on making scarves for the collection, but after spending all this summer and fall working with our FW16 fabrics, I couldn't stop thinking how great of scarves they would make. I love using these scarves to pattern mix with other fabrics in the collection — the Black Grid pattern goes especially well with our Almost Black silk.

Materials

This top is made of handloom fabric woven by hand in India. Handloom was the way basically all fabric was made from the dawn of time until the invention of electricity and modern milling techniques; it requires a high level of skill and craftsmanship, using the same techniques that were used centuries ago. The handloom process uses zero electricity, and the industry employs many skilled workers in rural areas of India where other jobs are scarce, making handloom super sustainable in addition to being breathtakingly beautiful. (Read more about handloom on our blog here.)

This particular fabric is made of 100% khadi (i.e., handspun) cotton. It's a soft, textured, midweight fabric, good for winter layering but breathable for warmer days. The fabric has a true black base with white threads forming the grid pattern; it pairs excellently with darker denim, jewel tones, and black.

In addition to the fabric, this scarf uses 100% organic cotton thread and organic cotton labels.
