CLICK HERE FOR AN UPDATED POST ON SUSTAINABLE WINTER ACCESSORIES
I created a post on sustainable scarves years ago, and I am finally making some updates. As it is September, I am excited for the fall season to begin, and I am sure you can relate. This post mainly features scarves and wraps suitable for the fall/winter season, but there are a few that can be worn all year round. Cotton is always in style, and it is a perfect fabric even during the summer season as some nights can feel a little chilly. Additionally, there are a couple of scarves made from cashmere, which is an excellent choice for fall and winter. As a natural fiber, it keeps you warm and cozy. If you require extra warmth, the mantles are amazing!
Cashmere Blend Fringed Wrap
Brand: Thread Tales Co.
Price: $225
This gorgeous wrap is a total luxury.
It was hand-woven by artisans in Nepal from 30% cashmere and 70% wool.
Based on traditions and culture, Thread Tales Co. puts purpose back into fashion.
Sustainability is at the core of their business, and they love to utilize the best natural fibers, such as Lotus, Cashmere, Merino, Cotton, Linen, Camel, and yak wool.
Champagne & Pearl Infinity Scarf

This scarf is a great way to add some flair to your holiday attire.
It is made of handwoven cotton in a light and airy weave that the weavers have dubbed "weave a little, leave a little".

Floral Crescent Bandana 3-Pack

Price: $30
This brand offers a bandana set that is made with 100% organic cotton. Every set sold helps remove one pound of trash from oceans and waterways.
Their products are perfect for outdoor enthusiasts as they are responsible and durable. The brand's designs are thoughtful, and they have already removed 1,108,117 pounds of trash from the world's oceans and waterways.
Frame Poncho
Brand: Christa Louise
Price: $195
The Frame Poncho is crafted from a sheer silk chiffon, with ultra-fine merino wool trimmed edges. It comes in 13 different colors, but my personal favorite is the black/petrol shimmer. I have always found felting to be an interesting art form, but the village women in Mexico who create these pieces for Christa Louise have taken it to a whole new level for me. This nuno felting technique is a fusion of fabric and is entirely done by hand.
Honey Bee Scarf
Brand: Beastly Threads
Price: $60
The Honeybee Scarf is an eco-friendly product made from organic cotton. It was designed in Brooklyn and hand block printed by artisans in Bagru, India using natural and non-toxic dyes. The product is then cut and sewn in the USA. A donation of $10 will be made to the Natural Resources Defense Council, which is dedicated to reversing the decline in honeybee populations. Beastly Threads offers a collection of eco-ethical textiles that support wildlife protection and habitat conservation.
