Unisex scarf, brown-leu

Keeping the art of hand weaving alive - that is the claim of the French label Moismont. This lightweight scarf is still traditionally made by hand in India from boiled wool. The fabric features a fine checked pattern in warm colors and impresses with its vivid, irregular texture and soft feel.

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.
