Selam Linen Scarf

Selam Linen Scarf

Light, airy and subtly elegant: this linen scarf is defined by its semi-sheer weave, which reveals the natural texture of the linen. In four soft pastel shades, its understated colour pairs effortlessly with many different styles.

Handwoven in Addis Ababa, the scarf combines the distinctive feel of linen with an elegant palette. Draped loosely around the neck or worn over the shoulders, it accompanies you through the seasons and suits women and men alike.

It is made by a fair-trade certified, woman-led weaving workshop in Ethiopia.

Who made it?

The artisans behind your product

Our partner

A fair-trade certified collective of 250 artisans in Addis Abeba is working around the various tasks of weaving products: from sourcing the locally-grown cotton, spinning it by hand, to weaving and adding the finishing stitches to it. The woman-led social enterprise pioneers an impactful movement to revive Ethiopian Heritage crafts.

Noble raw materials

The cotton is grown in Ethiopia and locally sourced, ensuring a low carbon footprint. With over 100 spinners working from home, the work allows mothers to generate a much-needed income.

Soft threads

Depending on the woman who spun the thread, it will be a little thinner or thicker and give your product that softness and human touch, which has long disappeared in our marketplaces, even from premium or luxury brands.

Warp & Weft

All the looms are operated fully manually (also involving the feet!). While typical ethiopian weavers would work on 2-harness looms creating flat weaves, some of our partners' weavers work with 4 or 8 harness looms, meaning they craft with 8 feet peddles! There are so many innovative weaving techniques and patterns - the artisans are involved in developing and creating new collections.
