Scarves with a Story

The name Alva is inspired by the noble one. At the House of Alva, we celebrate artisans who lovingly craft timeless scarves for you. Each piece is lovingly designed by our finest artisans of rare art forms.

Our scarves are not just must-have pieces in every fashionista's wardrobe, they are heirloom pieces for the next generation of fashion divas. Our high quality pieces will last a lifetime, so morph them into any type of scarf you want - a head scarf, a neck scarf or even a beach scarf. Be the trend - don't just follow it.
