floral wraps shawls

Made by hand by Thai artisan Nisa, this stunning shawl is 100% cotton and features a hand-stitched edge with a luscious batik design. Demonstrating true artistic excellence, the shawl depicts a gorgeous, colorful, unfurling flower resting on a medium green and dark greenish-grey color background.

Rich shades of azure and sky blue host a brilliant tropical garden on this shawl from Thailand's Nisa. The artisan uses beeswax to create the precise paisley and floral patterns on white cotton. Nisa stitches the hems of her shawls entirely by hand for a special touch.

Rosalina Arias hand weaves this beautiful shawl on a backstrap loom from black cotton. Alternating bands of tightly woven fabric with open work, she achieves a fabric that drapes beautifully. A band of colorful flowers is embroidered by hand on each end.

Rosalina Arias learned to make clothes and weave from her mother. She regularly conducts workshops to teach those same valuable skills to others in her community. Through her work, she hopes to showcase the best of her region's local traditions and inspire others.

Talented and gifted with an eye for fashion, the artisans from the Life and Hope Women's Association (Asociacion de Mujeres Vida y Esperanza) show Guatemala's exquisite arts in the embroidered details adorning this distinguished shawl. Loomed from cotton, the garment features a gorgeous russet base hue that adds a charming tone to the fringes and floral motifs decorating each end.
