Discover Sustainable Indigo Scarves

Welcome to our Indigo Scarf Series at The Well Worn, where each scarf tells a story. Made from wonderful vintage striped and patterned fabric in faded indigo colours. Hand-dyed in natural indigo pigment from indigo plants. These vintage fabrics have a history and character that can't be replicated, making each scarf truly one-of-a-kind. By repurposing and upcycling these materials, we not only contribute to sustainable fashion practices, but we also preserve the beauty and craftsmanship of the past.

Some of the scarfs have been mended using traditional Sashiko and Boro techniques. Sashiko and Boro techniques are traditional Japanese methods of mending textiles that add both functionality and artistry to the scarves. Sashiko involves using a running stitch to reinforce fabric and create beautiful patterns, while Boro refers to the practice of patching and layering fabric to extend its lifespan. By incorporating these techniques into our scarves, we not only ensure their durability but also pay homage to the cultural heritage of textile craftsmanship.
