Anokhi uses hand block printing, on the highest quality pure cotton to create their textiles. The process begins with handmade teak printing blocks to create the design of each textile. For each scarf pattern, the printer designs from one to thirty print blocks, each of which takes two days to carve. Printers stamp every three-meter block of cloth approximately one thousand times. All the embroideries and decorative stitching are done by hand, mostly by the Meghwal community in the district of Barmer, in the Thar desert region of Northwest India.
I have simply fallen in love with these scarves and now count myself as a fan and collector. They are so well made— the colors are deep and the detail of the patterns so lovely— and the cotton is so light and breathable (which is handy during sweltering Oklahoma summers!)
Because of Anokhi’s generosity, I have this pair of scarves to offer to TWO lucky winners this week— one for each winner. I have a blue floral scarf and a dark pink floral scarf for you to choose from (see photos below). When commenting, just let me know which one you’d prefer and on Friday I will choose a winner for each scarf!
In the meantime, if you’d like to browse Anokhi USA’s amazing collection of scarves, you can visit their website here. Not only do they offer their designs in these beautiful and decadent scarves, but they also sell kimonos, kaftans and surongs to wear as well as pillow covers and quilts to enjoy around the home.
And while the scarves offered here today are very reminiscent of Tasha Tudor, they have many patterns that might suit your tastes even better, in the most amazing array of colors. Happy shopping!~
And so— if you’d like to make one of these scarves your own—- all you need to do is comment! And for added bonus chances to win, I would love it if you would share this post on your social media (facebook, twitter, instagram) and then just come back here to leave an additional comment letting me know! That will help spread the word and also up your chances of having your name selected!
Best of luck and, of course—
Happy Tasha Tuesday!~
