Description

Luxurious Lotus fiber Shawl

Exquisite fabric like the lotus plant whose flower symbolizes purity in Buddhist culture !

Fair Trade Luxurious Shawl spun and handwoven 50% of lotus fiber and 50% natural ivory silk, Samatoa brand.

A spinner produces 250 meters of yarn per day. To make a jacket, 4 meters of fabric or 12,000 meters of fiber are required, two months of full-time work. Because of its complexity, this process can only be achieved by hand. The preparation of the loom takes 15 days to 50 meters of fabric, woven in 2 months.

Samatoa Lotus Textiles received the UNESCO Prize for Excellence in November 2012 for South-East Asia with a Sarong lotus and natural silk.
