Perfect Gift

Handwoven Scarf in Selah

IDR 990,000

A scarf woven by hand in Central Java, line by line, from raw cotton and indigo leaves. It has enough structure to hold a knot and enough softness to sleep on during a long flight. It lives on the back of your chair until you need it, which turns out to be most days.

The stripes come from lurik, a cloth Javanese weavers have made for generations. We called this one Selah, a pause, after the quiet space the weaver leaves between each line.

Details

  • Woven by hand. Our weavers make every Selah on wooden looms, one pass of the shuttle at a time. Each stripe is counted and set in by hand, so no two scarves carry quite the same rhythm.
  • Coloured by plants. The blues come from indigo leaves fermented for weeks in our vats, then built up dip by dip into Ocean, Black and Light Grey. One style carries a thin line of ThreeBark™ Red, drawn from bark. It is the rarest colour we make, so there is never much of it.
  • Better with time. Raw cotton softens with every wash, and the indigo shifts as you wear it. In a few years yours will look like nobody else’s.
  • The perfect gift. For him and for her.

Handmade

In Java, a stripe has a name. Lurik comes from lorek, the old word for a line. For generations it was the cloth of everyday life, worn in the rice fields and inside the palace walls, washed and worn until it went soft.

Our weavers in Central Java still make it the old way. They warp the loom by hand and count the threads for every stripe, then weave until the pattern runs the full length of the cloth. The rhythm you see in Selah is the rhythm of the woman at the loom that afternoon.

We kept the lurik stripe and drew it out longer, wide enough to wrap around you. The palette we kept close to the earth it came from.
