Cotton Cat Print Scarf - Navy Blue

This beautiful scarf or stole has been hand printed by artisans in North-East India. The artisans are part of a co-operative in semi rural area of North India. The co-operative was initiated in 1977 and is structured on a cottage industry basis. Most of the community in this area is involved in the scarf-making process – either weaving on looms, dying, tasselling, stitching, etc.

 

We source these scarves from a BAFTS registered and a recognised Fairtrade business in the UK. Chris’ story fascinated us as his passion for India began on his visit to a meditation center in South India. Chris has been working with this co-operative movement since 2007 and shares a close bond and relationship with the people that goes beyond business deals - which is why we love to source from Chris as his values align with ours.

The scarves are ethically sourced from a BAFTS registered and a recognised Fairtrade business.

 

The scarves involve various handmade processes. They are handwoven, hand-dyed and hand-stiched.

 

Buying this beautiful scarf will help preserve heritage skills and crafts, and also support ethical and sustainable creative businesses and livelihoods of artisans creating them.

 

This product was made by adult artisans, not children, and no forced or bonded labour was used in its production.
