HANDMADE IN BANGLADESH
We hope you love our collection of one-of-a-kind cotton scarves in many colors and with various beautiful patterns. The scarf measures 100 x 100 cm.
The scarves are made from vintage cotton saris, which means they are not perfect (see details ). The scarves are carefully selected and each one has its own distinct character. At the same time there is only one or very few of each scarf. The scarves are sewn according to global fair trade principles and have taken about two hours to restore and sew.
When you buy a scarf, you help secure decent, meaningful, and dignified jobs for marginalized women in Bangladesh. The women work at a socially responsible company where they receive a fair wage, an annual bonus (dividend), and professional training.

Details
The scarves are made from vintage saris, which means the product has a story.
The saris were previously worn by women in Bangladesh. They have now been upcycled and given a new life. That means the scarves are not perfect and may have small stains and marks.
🧡 If you find a small embroidery on your scarf, it is because the women judged the fabric to be beautiful and usable – despite one or two small holes, which they have repaired with a delicate embroidery.
Similarly, there will never be two products that are exactly the same, because the products are handmade. We hope you will appreciate the items' small quirks and their story as much as we do – and we hope they will bring you joy for many years to come.
Care
We recommend washing the scarf as little as possible to protect the product and our planet:
- Machine wash at max. 30°C
- Preferably use a gentle wash cycle
- Can be ironed at medium temperature
- Do not bleach, tumble dry, or dry clean
