Soft, elegant, light as a feather

This is the prettiest scarf! I love that it is airy and light, so it can be worn inside, and isn't just an outerwear accessory, and also love that it won't have to put away during the warmer months. It makes any outfit look more upscale and elegant. It is also a quality piece, with a lovely smoothness to it, and precise, even stitching.

Wonderful gift

So soft and warm! My friend (who is always very fashion forward) loved getting this for Christmas. The light weight and delicacy of this scarf means it can be worn in winter, spring, or fall.

A luxurious handmade article

The alpaca scarf is luxuriously soft, a perfect ensemble for men or women, very cashmere like except warmer, and blends with nearly any color coordination. This is my second piece from this artist and he is really a first tier craftsman. Highly recommended, you will not be disappointed.

About Scarves

The scarf today is worn in a lot of different ways, whether it's for fashion, religion, or to keep warm. Scarves have become a popular accessory for men and women around the world. It is believed that the use of scarves first developed in Ancient Rome. The Romans referred to a scarf as a sudarium – sweat cloth in Latin – and was primarily used to keep clean, especially of any sweat around the neck judging from the name. Chinese warriors also used scarves as a symbol of their ranking during under the powerful rule of Chinese Emperor Cheng. In the 19th century, the scarf trend really began to develop as a fashion symbol, worn in a variety of ways, from a simple wrap around the neck to an edgy knot.

At Novica, we have gathered a wide selection of unique scarves hand-woven by talented artisans around the world. Keep cozy with our luxurious alpaca wool scarves from Peru. This fiber was valued by the Incas and the tradition has been passed down many generations to ensure warmth during the cold seasons. For those hot summer days, keep fresh and accessorize with any of our silk scarves decorated with a wax-resist dyeing technique known as batik. The natural sheen and texture of silk can be easily dyed, allowing unique designs to shimmer with the colors of your outfit. Our artisans are masterful weavers who create one-of-a-kind scarves just for you!
