This lightweight scarf is still traditionally woven by hand in India - from pure wool. The fabric has a striking checked pattern and a fine, three-dimensional weave. Thanks to its length of 180 centimetres, it can be tied in many different ways. It is also so wide that it can not only be worn around the neck, but also over the shoulder. An irregular, narrow fringed edge forms the finish at both ends.

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.
