Alpaca Altiplano Scarf

Alpaca Altiplano Scarf
Artisans in La Paz, Bolivia, chose the rich shades of rustic alpaca wool in this scarf to serve as a reminder of the Altiplano's summer colors during the cold Andean winters. Alpaca wool was once reserved exclusively for Inca royalty, but over the centuries the soft, lightweight, and antistatic, superfine fibers have become a staple of Andean textile tradition. Handwoven of 100% alpaca on simple looms in a contemporary plaid with hand-twisted fringe. Hand-wash or dry clean. Handwoven by artisans in Bolivia. 11 3/4''W x 70''L.

    by Ida Hsiang

    DKNY and Theodora & Callum both came out with a Navajo print scarf recently and while we love the tribal inspired design and the vibrant colors ... we're not too sure about shelling over a couple hundred dollars for this accessory. Especially not when our fave trendy boutique, Forever21, is offering a lightweight version that's perfect for summer for less than $7! The semi-sheer, lightweight material makes it just right to add a little color to these warm, sunny days ... and speaking of color, this Navajo print scarf comes in a variety of classic and vibrant hues. We're loving the coral version!Where to Buy - Forever21Price - $6.50Who Found It - Idabone was the first to add the 'Navajo Print Scarf' to the Hive.
