There really is nothing like the feel of cashmere. Many try and copy it, but it truly is a blend that stands on its own. And when it is hand crafted on a loom, it is an amazing thing. I am so lucky to be able to bring to you the beauty of a handcrafted cashmere scarf that you are going to love.
MyMela is the place to get yours. MyMela is like the Esty of India and all of the goods have been lovingly hand created as a way to earn a income. This amazing site not only offers shoppers an assortment of high-quality products like hand-made scarves but also provides India’s artisans with a high-quality sustainable e-commerce platform and a vehicle to help them preserve their centuries-old traditions and businesses. These artisans are seeing their business decline due to poverty, high interest loans and competition from low-cost, mass produced products from other countries.
MyMela has so many cool items besides the scarves, which are all 100% cashmere, otherwise known as pashmina, or made from pure lambswool. They also carry beautiful items like flat-weave dhurrie rugs, richly patterned hand-blocked tablecloths, hand-carved photo frames, sterling silver jewelry, embroidered handbags, and other home décor, fashion and accessories items.
I was very blessed to receive a gorgeous scarf that is so incredibility soft. The weave is very tight and it has very subtle stripes across the bottom. I love the color blend. It is fabulous! I also love that this is a long scarf. It is ample length to go around your neck a few times to keep the wind out. It is also a nice width so you can cover your hair and neck at the some time. Awesome! I cannot wait until it gets cold here so I can bundle up in it. I just love feeling how soft it is and it is amazing to me that this is a hand crafted item.
I am impressed with the beautiful quality of the item and I appreciate what MyMela is doing for the artisans too. At MyMela.com the shoppers are granted the opportunity to “lend” $25 and up to the various artist groups featured on the site. The loan will enable the artists to continue purchase materials, make capital improvements or train other workers. In return for the loan lenders will receive shopping credits equal to the loan amount plus a 10% bonus. The credits can be used to shop for other MyMela products or can be reinvested into another artisan group. What a great concept!!
