One of my favourite sustainable fabrics! GOTS organic cotton velour.
Very long smart Navy blue soft velvety velour, in an extra long version of my standard scarf. The fabric is lovely and plush with a slightly matt finish, great for keeping the chills and snow flurries out! Or for looking very striking and elegant over a smart city or evening outfit. It’s a bit thicker and plusher than my original crushed velvet scarves- all the better to keep the chill out! This is a deep rich navy blue or ultramarine with a hint of green, almost a dark teal. Thanks Freya for modelling a similar one for me!
I was fed up with polyester velvets- they are cheap and are soft and beautiful but they shed tiny plastic fibres that get into the air, land and water, pollute sea and river life in particular and can’t be easily removed, and that’s no good for the planet. And what do you do with the fabric at the end of its life? You can only burn or chemically melt it- and much of it ends up in landfill, while the little fibres end up inside animals and plants- not good for them some of which we eat! So here is the first one of my new eco-friendly scarves, at very little on-cost compared to my original scarves.
This scarf is made with a lovely subtle- coloured GOTS certified 100% organic cotton velvet velour backed in the same fabric. It is a big collar-scarf at approx 200cm (78 inches/ 6 feet 6 inches) or a little longer by about 9 inches wide (23cm).
Easy care- wash at 30C in the washing machine or wash easily by hand. Drip dry, non-iron and do not tumble dry. Hang somewhere steamy to get creases out.
Other sizes can be made, for example the popular double-width wrap- please get in touch. I am adding other colours over the next few months!
Other combinations of front and backing may be available, please contact me to ask!
