Handwoven, hand embroidered shawl

This stunning handwoven, hand embroidered shawl features a unique design of brightly colored swirls and intricate embroidery stitches on 100% black cotton fabric. Expertly crafted on a floor loom by our associates in a rural community outside the Honduran capital of Tegucigalpa, it offers both style and practicality, making it perfect for air-conditioned spaces and cool summer nights.  Bend over with the shawl wrapped around, and the shawl stays put. 100% of each sale goes to our women associates. Working to make shawls, pillow covers and table runners provides income used to pay for food, medical needs and school supplies and transportation for associates’ children.
