Handmade Silk Scarves And Wraps - A Versatile Wardrobe Accessory
Scarves and wraps are a versatile and distinctive wardrobe accessory. Handmade scarves are unique artistic accessories that can enhance any outfit. These scarves come in a variety of fabrics and designs ranging from simple cotton weaves to elaborately textured weaves in silk and in combinations of silk and other yarns such as cotton and wool. Hand-woven scarves made with organic yarns are very durable and retain their natural beauty and luster for many years.
Scarves come in a wide variety of designs, fabrics, and textures and are quickly becoming a standard accessory for both men and women. Of all the fabrics, silk is the most popular one for scarves and wraps, as it has an elegant look and silk yarn absorbs color well, lending itself to both vibrant and subtle hues.
In India, hand-woven silk scarves are made by weavers who traditionally made saris and other textiles for use in their local markets. These weavers are highly skilled in the handloom craft and the knowledge is passed down from generation to generation. The diverse range of the weaving styles can be incorporated into a wide variety of scarf designs, ranging from classic ikat, bomkai, and jacquard weaves to more contemporary weaves with texture and ruffles.
Ikat is a very ancient weaving technique that involves tie-dying the yarn in intricate patterns before the yarn is set on the loom. Double ikat is when both the warp and weft yarns have tie-dyed patterns, and one double ikat sari can take several years to make. In India, as the local markets are increasingly flooded with machine-woven saris and textiles, the handloom industry has struggled to survive. Weavers find it difficult to earn a livelihood from their craft, and as a result, the handlooms are being replaced by power looms in many villages throughout India. This has a devastating effect on the local economy as well as on the cultural heritage of India, which is truly a treasure for the world.
In order to preserve these incredible weaving traditions, consumers need to be educated about the difficulties that these weaving communities face so that we can make informed decisions about how we spend our money. Products that are handmade by artisans need to be more available to the general public, so we can appreciate the great artistic traditions that create these items. If we understand what is at stake if these traditions are lost, we will naturally choose to purchase items that have more value and inherent beauty. When we purchase handmade items, we show our value for the care and knowledge that has gone into creating the item, and we become more conscious consumers.
Hand-woven scarves are a great example of a handmade product that represents and upholds an ancient artistic tradition. They are elegant adornments that add beauty to any wardrobe and fuse classic art with contemporary style. As more people are becoming aware of the value in wearing and using handmade products, such items are readily available through the internet and in retail stores. Hand-woven silk
and cotton scarves for women are increasingly finding their way into mainstream markets, especially through fair trade stores, museum gift shops and boutiques.

My wedding gown came in Ivory instead of white. It's my first wedding, no children, does it matter that much?
My wedding gown I ordered online is BEAUTIFUL, pure silk, custom/handmade and fits like a glove, but I ordered it in white, and it came as an Ivory/Antique white and I am a little dissapointed. I contacted dying companies, and they said that silk is naturally this color and cannot by dyed. I cannot return the dress or get a refund (believe me, I tried). This is my first marriage, I have no children, and I was looking forward to the traditional white gown, but everyone is telling me that the Ivory is beautiful and old fashion, and that I should just stick with it. Is everyone just trying to make me feel better by telling me to keep the gown? Are there going to be whispers when I walk down the aisle when everyone sees me in ivory instead of white? Is the difference between ivory and white that different? Is the tradition THAT important, or should I just suck it up and stick with this gown? I REALLY love this gown, I am just concerned about it not being pure white = (
Here's something that I found through a google search:
"In modern tradition, the color of western-culture wedding dresses is white. Used in this sense, 'white' or 'wedding white' includes creamy shades such as eggshell, ecru and ivory."
Don't even think of it as an issue. You'll be fine with the ivory. I'm sure you'll look gorgeous (especially if you really love it).... Certainly keep the gown and know that it's considered in the white family. Nobody will question it... as long as you stand tall, have a smile on your face and enjoy your special day!
