These fair trade raw silk & cotton scarves make a lovely gift. The central section of the scarf is made from a beautifully soft cotton and silk mix, then at each end there is a vibrant raw silk section that adds a real zing! The challenge is which of the lovely colours to choose so if you are struggling, you could try pairing it with a contrasting colour for your own original look!
Twilight Blue has a lovely bold, British navy blue silk stripe at the ends. The cotton section is a light denim colour which looks fabulous with jeans.

FAIR TRADE - Manumit believes that communication and a strong interest in their suppliers is paramount to a strong business relationship. Their scarves are made in Vietnam by an organisation who’s mission is to produce and sell Vietnamese handicraft products that are made under fair trade conditions. They work towards expanding their customer base so that they can in turn expand workshop capacity, which helps to provide more secure and decent employment opportunities to disadvantaged women and farmers. They provide life changing training in tailoring skills and bring smiles to these two extremely marginalised groups in society.
NATURAL - All Manumit scarves are hand woven in Vietnam using only 100% tassel silk. This is where the silk worm has left the cocoon before it is spun and therefore does not die in the silk process, making it suitable for vegetarians. All scarves are coloured using eco friendly AZO free dyes.
