The very light fabric of this square scarf is made from pure, skin-friendly cotton. The weave shows four different blocks, two of which are striped and two of which have a Vichy check. The scarf is finished with selvedges on two sides and narrow fringed edges on the other two.

Behind the Moismont label, based in Picardy, France, are Martine and Jacques Bijvoet. Through their fashion, the couple champion authenticity and tradition. It is therefore no surprise that their scarves and stoles, garments, and bags blend French textile design with traditional Indian weaving craftsmanship. After all, the original scarf (which, as we understand it, is worn more like a stole) once made its way from the Indian subcontinent to Europe. And to this day, this scarf-making culture remains very much alive in India: yarn-dyeing, weaving, and printing techniques are passed down there from generation to generation—across three carefully distinguished trades, each of which possesses and safeguards its own unique expertise.

Staining of light-coloured clothing, furniture and other objects is possible.
