Description
Raw silk scarf perfect for winter!
100% raw silk scarf, Artisans Angkor spun and woven by hand, fair trade and eco-friendly.
This scarf is popular with both men and women.
According to the technique of preparation of this raw silk, it has been cleaned more thoroughly, thus making this raw silk softer. It is also thicker and very comfortable for the colder seasons. Silk, which is a 100% natural fiber, has a highly valued feature, it is warm in winter and cool in summer.
The finish along the length of the scarf is the edge of the fabric (as opposed to a hem), which implies that the craftswoman is only weaving one scarf at a time on the loom. This scarf has fringes across the width.
Woven with a Romduol flower pattern. Well-known because of its sweet perfume that remains all day long, Romduol is a typical Cambodian flower. It recently became the official symbol of hygiene and environmental preservation in Cambodia, according to the government’s decision.
Raw silk is more rustic in appearance, with very pronounced grains, but still with the luster, shimmer of colors and softness that characterizes silk. Natural raw silk is thicker than fine silk and its texture is incomparable. The raw silk that we offer you is opaque which means that the number of silkworm cocoons to create a thread is higher.
Silk is a natural and renewable material, biodegradable and less polluting to produce (source: Guide du vêtement responsable - 2008, Équiterre). In addition, it is fair trade because it is handmade according to an ancestral know-how by the artisans of a cooperative, and among them, have social policy and decent working conditions.
Additionally, natural or dyes that don't contain heavy metals are used; they are less damaging to artisans and the environment and therefore eco-friendly while promoting sustainable development.
Over the years, Artisans Angkor has become a showcase of Cambodian craftsmanship for its silks worthy of the Silk Road!
Artisans Angkor has pioneered a new social policy in Cambodia, guaranteeing a fair income as well as social and medical welfare to all its employees. The artisans themselves formed an association that holds a 20-percent share in the company.
A workshop opening means more employment in disadvantaged rural communities and therefore an improvement of social conditions and poverty alleviation.
