Brown and Black Scarf from Mexico

The Corner Project / Proyecto El Rincón , a community organization of Malinalco, Mexico, offers Aztec-inspired matching brooches, earrings and scarves.

Each item is hand-crafted by local artisans. Sales create jobs and support crisis work with migrants' families, and provide funding for programs to help keep migrants' children in school.



These beautiful scarves are hand-woven from the finest all-cotton hand-dyed thread, employing the same waist-loom weaving technique used for the rebozos or traditional shawls for which this region has been famous since colonial times. The long sides of the scarves are finished with drawn-thread hand embroidery and the ends are worked into a deep hand-knotted fringe like that used to finish the traditional rebozos.

The scarves are about 66" long, including about 3" of hand-knotting and 4" of fringe.
