Emerald Handloom Cashmere Scarf

Ethically crafted and Fair Trade certified, these cashmere scarves are handloomed in Pokhara, Nepal by skilled weavers who are blind, deaf, or disabled. Slate and Salt collaborate with a local non-profit that equips these artisans with the tools, training, and support needed to gain independence through weaving. In Nepal, people with disabilities often face discrimination and limited job opportunities, but weaving offers them a path to self-sufficiency, boosting their confidence and improving their standing within their families.

Beyond supporting the artisans, the organization actively gives back to the disabled community by donating white canes, hearing aids, wheelchairs, and providing essential supplies such as food and medicine to aged-care homes. Made from 100% handloomed Himalayan cashmere, each scarf is a beautiful symbol of resilience, empowerment, and ethical craftsmanship.
