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.

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