Scarf - Kantha Cotton

Price: $49.00

Qty:

An absolutely gorgeous, unique scarf.

Details:

These were a new order in December and it was such a delightful surprise to open each one! They are all deliciously unique and even each side of the scarf is different.

As we have only two left, please specify - in an email - if you prefer a particular colour tone. ie. Orange or crimson.

Kantha is an ancient sewing technique from West Bengal, India where layers of material are sewn together, in this case recycled cotton sari material.

These scarves are super soft and super cool to brighten up any outfit.
