Pure Silk Scarves–
the very word conjures up visions of a fabric so
soft, so smooth, so splendorous, it is fit for a
king. The highly revered fabric is associated
with ceremonial rites among the Hindus and the
religious books are full of references to it.
India was probably the first country to attain
perfection in the art of weaving fabric, silk as
well as cotton. Women silk scarf accessory are
extremely soft and flowing and can go well with
western as well as oriental dresses. This scarf
wrap remains a favorite with women of all ages.
These pure silk printed scarves are created by
the talented weavers of Benaras. The tools used
are very basic in nature- wooden blocks for
marking designs on silk. A scarf is a piece of
textile, often long and narrow, usually worn on
or near the head, for warmth, fashion,
cleanliness, or religious purposes. In cold
climates, a thick knitted scarf (often of wool)
is often tied around the neck to keep warm. This
is usually accompanied by a warm hat and heavy
coat. The craft of knitting garments such as
scarves is an important trade in some countries.
In drier, dustier climates, or in environments
where there is a lot of airborne contaminants, a
thin scarf is often worn over the head to keep
the hair clean. Over time, this custom has
evolved into a fashionable item in many cultures,
particularly among women.
Scarves in India have a significant place and
traditional value. They are significant because
they are considered a protector of women's
integrity. All women's outfit in India is
considered incomplete without a long scarf. The
fabric of a scarf can be cotton, chiffon,
georgette, silk, net or sometimes mixed too.
These are an integral part of the salwar kurta,
lehenga, and churidar. With cultural exposure
from Europe, these scarves found their way to the
western wardrobes too. However, with western
dresses the length of these are reduced and they
are generally square. These scarves designed for
western outfits are generally chiffon or
georgette and they are printed or painted. Very
light in weight they have a very decent look.
