Q: What makes ikat different from regular striped fabric?

Q: What does fair trade mean for this product?
A: Fair trade ensures artisans receive fair wages, work in safe conditions, and have opportunities for community development. This scarf supports traditional weaving techniques and provides sustainable income for skilled craftspeople in India.
Q: Will the colors vary from what I see online?
A: Yes, the maker notes there may be 5-10% shade variation due to the handmade nature of the dyeing and weaving process. This variation is part of the authentic artisan character.
Q: How should I style this scarf?
A: The generous size allows for multiple styling options - wrap it as a cozy shawl, drape it loosely as a statement scarf, or fold it for a more tailored look. The neutral light blue and olive tones complement many color palettes.
Q: Is this scarf suitable for all seasons?
A: The 100% cotton fabric makes it ideal for transitional seasons and can be layered in winter or worn alone as light coverage in spring and summer.
