Introducing Mary and finding out how the Botanical Rainbow Scarf is made?

Making of the Botanical Rainbow Scarf

At Elephant Branded are delighted to have teamed up with Josie and her brand AMMA to showcase the Natural Elephants!

One of the new items in the range is the Limited edition: Botanical Rainbow Handwoven Scarf

We will let Josie and the Team introduce the product and let you know a bit more about how it is made and by who:

Our beautiful Botanical Rainbow Scarf is another marker in AMMA’s journey towards creating garments from food waste. It is no secret that the square shaped scarf blends all our favourite plant dyed colours, including, avocado stone, onion skin, nelli, indigo, eucalyptus and madder root.

Our Botanical Rainbow Scarf is the result of a continuous relationship with traditional Sri Lankan craft techniques. Mary is 67 years old and AMMA’s finest weaver. Prior to working for AMMA she taught weaving in the local district weaving centres. By committing to a zero-waste philosophy and empowering women in their local market, AMMA is celebrating the traditions and the people of the hilly Sri Lankan tea estates.

Every scarf is a hand-crafted good carrying the stories of our mother makers. They reveal the human handprint that is faithful in every step of creativity and production. Each scarf is delicately polished with a hand stitched AMMA label as the finishing touch from our remarkable women.

If you would like to purchase one of Mary’s wonderfully handmade scarfs and be the finishing piece to our mother made process then simply check them out as part of our partnership as “The natural Elephants”
