It takes at least "15 days and 8 hours" to weave a scarf from delicately fine threads to a comfortably fluffy texture. Dimensions: 50 x 165 cm Producer Group: Sasha, established in the ancient city of Kolkata in 1978, is one of India's oldest and most established fair trade NGOs. In the 1970s, the influx of cheap, mass-produced machine-made goods led to a decline in handicraft work. Small-scale craft producers faced fraud and exploitation by intermediaries, leaving them unable to resist and resulting in extremely difficult economic and social conditions. Sasha thus focused on market development and design, while also providing technical guidance and financial support to revitalize traditional local crafts and prove to the world that people-centered trade can be successful. Their philosophy is: "Fair trade not only provides artisans with a stable income, but also earns them global recognition, thereby fostering confidence and self-esteem." Sasha currently works with a variety of handicrafts, including textiles, leather goods, woodcraft, pottery, and accessories. *Dark-colored items may fade during washing or dry cleaning, so please wash them separately from other garments. *As this product is hand-woven, the width may not be uniform due to variations in the weaving process. *When washing, please dry in the shade. *Even after drying, please be careful not to transfer color to light-colored clothing or bags.
