must have scarf

Pink becomes dark purple in a delicious palette of colors orchestrated by Vinita. She works with traditional dyeing techniques to create a scarf of bold elegance that is loomed of silk.

Jade jasmine blossoms take shape as an expression of Java's parang kembang kotak motif. By Yuni Kristina, this elegant scarf is crafted of shimmering silk. She hand-stamps the green patterns on the ivory textile and adds red and black designs in batik.

This sublime scarf boasts colorful stripes, delicate fringes and a fascinating combination of blue, light blue, grey, purple and teal hues. Skillfully hand-loomed by artisans from the San Antonio Palopo Cooperative in Guatemala, this cotton accessory is a must-have for those seeking to inject vibrancy into their style.

Surrender to the timeless charm of this splendid scarf designed by Guatemalan artisan Elena Ixtamer. Adorned with horizontal stripes, delicate fringes and a lovely blue hue, it's the perfect complement to any outfit. Woven with care on a backstrap loom from rayon made from bamboo, the rich textures make this accessory a must-have for those looking to infuse a pop of color into their look.

Whether you choose to drape it around your neck or use it as a shawl or in any other creative way, this versatile rayon scarf is guaranteed to make you stand out. This must-have accessory dazzles with hand-drawn batik designs by Java’s Erna Gendhis in contrasting colors and stylish patterns that create a stunning visual impact. With delicate fringe accents on both ends, the scarf has an exquisite color palette featuring mulberry, grey, amber, burnt orange, Caribbean blue, azure, white and black.

Shimmering strands of yellow rayon are skillfully worked across green and black threads in this superlative kente cloth scarf. An extremely intricate double weave, its pattern is created primarily on the weft, or horizontal threads of the loom. Great care must be taken so that the blocks of color have same size and match one another when the woven strips are joined. A special stick is used to measure the cloth on the loom so Gobah Tengey-Seddoh names this design Atikpui (measure).

Each strip requires considerable effort, and the looms are worked with both hands and feet. Strips are generally three to four inches wide and seven to ten feet long, and the length of time it takes to complete one strip varies by the complexity of the chosen pattern. The simplest use mostly vertical, or warp patterns, and an experienced weaver can make several of those in one day. But patterns with nearly all weft patterns, where the warp design is hardly visible, can take up to four days to complete an individual strip. Each color has its own meanings in Asante culture. Green is fertility and new harvest, gold is royalty, black is strength, aging, and spirituality, while white is purity. The patterns themselves are carefully chosen symbols, which a master weaver develops and names, often to honor people, historical events, or proverbs.
