Scarf N°766 watercolor, petrol blue

The scarf is an essential accessory to protect you from draughts on cool days and to add the finishing touch to your outfit. This one features a striking geometric pattern similar to shibori. Shibori is a Japanese dyeing technique that creates a series of batik-like patterns by folding, wrapping and pressing the fabric. Moismont manufactures the scarf from a lightweight fabric made from pure, skin-friendly cotton. The edges are hemmed all around.

Behind the label Moismont, based in Picardy, France, are Martine and Jacques de Moismont. With their fashion, the two stand up for authenticity, traditions and values. It is therefore not surprising that in their scarves and stoles, blankets and bags France and India come together: The designs come from Parisian textile designer Adrien Testard, while they are made in a very traditional way in India. After all, the original shawl (which we understand to be worn more like a stole) once found its way from the Indian subcontinent to Europe. And to this day, this shawl culture is very much alive in India: Yarn dyeing, weaving and printing techniques are passed down there from generation to generation - in three carefully distinguished trades, each of which possesses and guards its own unique know-how.
