Vintage Typewriter. Steel blue silkscreened woven silk scarf, fair trade.

Description

NEW - Underwood manual typewriter! This model is from 1934. The Underwood is an icon of an antique yet truly modern machine. Original illustration from my very own Underwood! Black ink on a steel blue scarf.

As it is a big bold print, this design not only works on our ties, but works super well on our hand-woven, Fair-Trade* silk scarves! The entire image of the typewriter adorns the end of this scarf. Just like the ties, we hand-screen them all in our Detroit studio.

Perfect for tying as an ascot, bundling around your neck, or flowing freely.

This is a soft, extremely lightweight gauzy and delicate larger scarf than our silk ascot, measuring about 13.5" x 69" + knotted fringe. Note: minor imperfections are part of the charm and character of handcrafted silk.

* We are very concerned about the material quality and working conditions from which obtain the fabric we print on.


So what is Fair Trade?

"Fair Trade" creates relationships between producers, traders and consumers in a manner that ensures that goods producers work in safe conditions, are paid fair wages, and are mindful of the environment. Fair Trade sourced products contribute to sustainable development by offering better conditions to, and securing the rights of, marginalized producers and workers especially in exports from developing countries to developed countries.

Our scarves are handwoven in Thailand from the silk of the Bombyx Mori, the domesticated silk worm. It is entirely dependent on humans for its reproduction and no longer occurs naturally in the wild.
