Nepalese Handwoven Cotton Scarf with Tassels, Striped Designs, Choice of Colours

£10.50

Handwoven in Nepal’s Kathmandu Valley, these cotton scarves come in a wide choice of striped designs, from soft pinks and pastels to deep berry, teal and charcoal tones. Each is finished with tassels at both ends, and some are woven with a fine gold, red or silver metallic thread for a little shimmer. Generously sized, they can be worn as a scarf or draped as a light shawl.

The Kathmandu Valley has a long history of weaving, dating back centuries. Its location on the trade routes between India and Tibet allowed ideas and techniques to be exchanged, shaping local weaving traditions. Over time, the weavers developed their own distinctive styles, and while modern methods and materials have arrived, traditional hand-weaving remains part of the valley’s cultural identity.

As each scarf is handwoven, every piece is individual, and small variations or imperfections are part of its handmade character.
