Cotton Silk Shawl

Our cotton silk shawl is the perfect size for wrapping yourself up in something soft and silky, but also thin and soft enough to bunch and wear as a scarf. Hand dyed and woven by artisans working with Binh Minh in Vietnam, the lightweight silk cotton blend of this shawl keeps it in fashion year round. The shawls are imported by Marquet, a fair trade company buying handmade goods that emphasize the creativity of artisans and entrepreneurs in developing countries. Through their unique working relationship Marquet explores and celebrates their artisans' cultural heritage, mindful of the artisan's traditions and needs of their community. Choose from Sand pearl, Slate black or Periwinkle blue. Shawls are 50% silk, 50% cotton, measure 62" x 31" and can be hand washed.

Vietnam
Binh Minh is Vietnamese for morning sun, and this artisan collective in Northern Vietnam is just a few kilometers from the South China Sea; a spectacular vantage point from which to welcome the sun each and every morning. It is here the collective of 20 families operates 25 looms and can weave up to 5,000 shawls and scarves a month. Binh Minh uses only local Vietnam raised silk in all of its hand spun yarns. Buying handmade goods, Marquet emphasizes the creativity of artisans and entrepreneurs in developing countries.
