colorul handmade silk scarf

A soft and comfortable silk scarf with diagonal and vertical stripes. It is a hand-spun, hand-woven and hand-made silk scarf. The silk is called Eri silk and reminds many of wool or cotton. Don't be fooled. This is 100% pure silk. It warms and cools very well. It transports moisture and breathes. Your neck won't get clammy by wearing this scarf. Can be used all year round. Silk comes from hundreds of families who have silkworms and supply us with cocoons. The silk is then spun, dyed and woven in a leper colony in the state of Bihar in northern India. A small community where entire families of infected people live and work. There is no risk of infection associated with the scarf. As a handmade product, unevenness will occur. That's part of the charm and authenticity of the scarf. The scarf is 30 x 160 cm. Can be washed gently by hand, or dry cleaned. 100% silk.
