Product Description

Inspired by the scaly skin of the Custard Apple this beautiful scarf is hand-woven from 100% pure Lao organic silk. The looser weave technique used in this contemporary design creates a softer and thicker scarf, suitable for cooler weather months.

The traditional Lao silkworm produces a very short yellow strand that can only be reeled by hand. This process produces a breathable soft silk with a comfortable linen-like texture.

This eco-friendly scarf makes the perfect accessory and adds style to any outfit!
