woven jewelry

Dyed russet with a chestnut-colored fabric tie and interior, this jewelry roll is woven by hand of a silk and rayon blend by Thai artisan Vinita. She invites you to store your jewelry in style, crafting the jewelry roll to open to an interior with one large open pocket, two zipper pockets and a padded snap roll for rings and pins.

Designed by Raquel and Gregor of Peru, this baby alpaca blend hand woven scarf is both lightweight and cozy warm. Subtle stripes of fuchsia, orange-red, purple, blue, green, and gold are worked with a subtle herringbone pattern. Fringe finishes both ends of the scarf.

Blue and white complement red, yellow and green in a colorful scarf from Rachel Armah. Woven by hand, traditional West African kente cloth depicts a design known as Akyem, or "shield." It's symbolism comes from an Akan proverb and represents bravery, heroic deeds and glorious accomplishment. Its message is that people's good deeds live after them.

Each strip of kente cloth requires considerable effort, and the looms are worked with both hands and feet. Each color has its own meanings in Asante culture. Green is fertility and new harvest, gold is royalty, black is strength, aging and spirituality, and white is purity.

Talented weavers from K'amolon K'i K'ojonel create an admirable iridescent effect as they weave this scarf on a traditional backstrap loom. Working with rayon made from bamboo fiber, they weave this scarf in shades of turquoise, orange, yellow and light green.
