This sustainable shawl is handwoven using organic bamboo chenille and hand-dyed with azo-free dyes in beautiful gold, coral, and lilac shades.

What makes our Shawl Coral Gold truly special is that it is handwoven by the talented members of the fairtrade Mayan collective Kamolon Ki Konojel from Guatemala. This cooperative consists of 180 backstrap weavers, warpers, dyers, and sewers, who use their traditional skills to create these beautiful shawls.

By purchasing our Shawl Coral Gold, you are not only adding a unique piece to your wardrobe, but you are also supporting these women artisans and their families. Your purchase helps to create economic opportunities for the community and promotes fair trade practices.

To ensure the longevity of your Shawl Coral Gold, we recommend hand washing and laying it flat until almost dry, then fluffing it in the dryer using low heat and a gentle cycle.
