Caribelle Batik Silk Scarf

Hand-waxed sea island cotton, dyed in indigo and brazilwood under a 400-year-old saman tree.

At Romney Manor the cold wax is drawn freehand by women who have made this scarf for thirty years. The colour is indigo and brazilwood, no synthetic dye, finished outside on the saman tree where the cloth catches whatever wind comes that morning. The wedding gift, the mother-of-the-bride gift, the gift for the elder who left and came back.
