Description
Add texture to any look with an airy linen scarf! It is meticulously handwoven and finished with a white stripe, eyelash fringe. Linen is a luxury textile because it is so labor intensive to produce. It is not elastic, so weaving with linen thread is very difficult, but the end result is a fabric with a natural texture that will last forever. It is one the oldest and strongest fibers in the world and linen is also one of the most sustainable materials because all parts of the plant can be used and nothing is wasted.
Sabahar strives to create respectful, ethical and sustainable work opportunities for artisans in Ethiopia and showcase the talents of their weavers to the world. Inspired by the ancient weaving traditions of Ethiopia, they create exquisite textiles using natural fibers. The beauty of handspun thread is a rare commodity in our quickly changing world of mechanized textile factories. From the spinning of the thread to the weaving of the fabric, the process is done entirely by hand. A weaver can produce one to three scarves in a day depending on the level of detail of the design.
