Cloud - Silk Nakshi Kantha Embroidered Scarves
Cloud - Silk Nakshi Kantha Embroidered Scarves
These exquisite scarves and wraps are made from the finest handwoven Tussar silk covered in handstitched Kantha embroidery. Every piece is an individual work of art and takes at least a month to produce. They are lovingly created by ladies from a women's producer group in West Bengal giving them the chance to earn a living whilst working from their village homes and supporting their families.
Stunning for any occasion, these pieces can be worn as a shawl around the shoulders or scrunched as a scarf. So beautiful, especially for a special occasion when you want to stand out from the crowd but are equally happy paired with jeans and a jumper. The texture of this natural silk is light and crisp unlike the usual mulberry silk, but with wear and time will soften beautifully.
Due to the nature of the production, there may be irregularities but this is all part of their charm. Note also that they are not lined so there may be loose threads on the reverse showing the handiwork. Do take care of these and they will become a treasure to be passed on through the years.
