Price: $18.00 This item is currently sold out.

Scarf measures approximately 7½" x 63"

100% Recycled Saris (Sarees) - Each colorful sari is hand-picked from a local bazaar in the heart of Calcutta. Saris are selected for their pattern and color, then handstitched together using traditional West Bengal kantha embroidery. 

Reversible Handmade Scarves - Vibrant sari (saree) pairings make these reversible scarves do double duty — flip them over for a whole new look. Small imperfections (such as holes or snags) are carefully patched with corresponding fabric, adding to the charming handmade feel.

Indian Kantha Embroidery - Instead of clogging up land fills, beautiful kantha embroidery gives these cotton saris (sarees) a second life. Add a touch of traditional India to your eclectic wardrobe.

Feel-Good Shopping - Purchases help support young women from Indian slums, who are part of a program that provides training and job opportunities in tailoring and paper crafts. In addition, the women are taught English, skills for business, and life values. You can't get better than that.
