Jamdani Scarf
Jamdani Scarf
Hand-loomed in Fulia, West Bengal, by makers practicing the art of their ancestors, this scarf takes its name from the weaving method used to create its colorful pattern. The bands of thin stripes and scattered blocks of blue, pink, yellow, brown and orange are created directly on the loom using a supplemental weft technique. Jamdani fabric is distinctly lightweight and breathable.
