Brown and Black Scarf from Mexico

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



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.
