Earth Tree Fair Trade -- Spring and Summer Linen and Linen Scarf (Purple Gray/Blue)

Origin: India Material: 60% linen, 40% organic cotton, handwoven, free of azo dyes. It takes at least 15 days and 8 hours to weave a fluffy scarf from a light-like fine thread. Size: 50×165cm Producer Group: Sasha, founded in 1978 in the ancient city of Kolkata, is one of the oldest and most established fair trade NGOs in India. In the 1970s, India was suddenly flooded with cheap machine-made products, and handicraft jobs gradually declined. Small-scale artisanal producers face fraud and exploitation by middlemen and are unable to resist, resulting in extremely difficult economic and social conditions. Sasha then focused on developing markets and designs, while providing technical guidance and financial support to revitalize local traditional handicrafts and prove to the world that people-oriented trade can be successful. The business philosophy is that "Fair trade not only allows artisans to obtain a stable income, but also allows them to gain worldwide recognition, thereby gaining confidence and self-esteem." Currently, Sasha deals in a variety of handicrafts including textiles, leather goods, wood products, pottery and accessories. *Dark colors may fade when washed or dry cleaned, so please wash them separately from other clothing. *Since this product is hand-woven, the width of the product may not be uniform depending on how the thread is woven. *When washing, please dry in the shade. *Even after drying, please be careful not to transfer color to light-colored clothing or bags.
