This lustrous silk scarf is sure to catch your eye, and everyone else's. This stunner is naturally dyed with Madagascar turmeric root, and it shimmers a beautiful golden color in the sunlight.
It is 100% Madagascar wild silk and is completely handmade using traditional weaving methods that have been passed down from mother-to-daughter for generations (hand spun yarn, naturally dyed, and hand woven on a floor loom). The women of the Lovasoa Cooperative carefully craft each piece in their small village in the central highlands of Madagascar.
This scarf is made from wild Borocera silk which is a species of silkworm only found in Madagascar.
Only natural dyes are used in this scarf. The dye is fixed and will not run or fade. This beautiful piece will last a lifetime.
Your purchase directly helps a weaver in this cooperative support her family. It also preserves the cultural tradition of silk weaving in Madagascar.
Each piece comes with a lovely tag that tells the story of the silk and has washing instructions.
Washing instructions: Dry cleaning is recommended. You can steam iron on a low-ish setting to refresh it from time to time without washing. This gives it a lovely sheen.
