Scarf & Hat

A Tibetan scarf warms more than the body. Scarves and hats in wool, silk and cotton. The scarves are handcrafted by Tibetan artisans in the Himalayas. As a daily companion or a meaningful gift, a Tibetan scarf carries the warmth of the Himalayas within it.

What sets a Tibetan scarf apart and why is it more than a piece of clothing?

In the Tibetan tradition a shawl is more than a garment that keeps you warm. In the monasteries the dark red shawl is part of the robes of monks and nuns, and practitioners outside the monasteries, the ngakpas, also wear their own shawl in white and red. During meditation it is laid around the shoulders. It keeps you warm as the body becomes still and gives practice a calm setting.

Our selection includes meditation shawls, ngakpa and monk's shawls, light everyday scarves and warm hats, in wool, silk and cotton. The shawls and scarves are handcrafted by Tibetan artisans in the Himalayas, so no two are exactly alike.

A shawl accompanies you on the meditation cushion as well as in everyday life. If you would like to deepen your practice, you will find an introduction to Tibetan meditation in our Journal. Our Tibetan shirts in raw silk and cotton go well with it too.
