Linen And Alpaca Wool Scarf. Avó- Avoa Collection

This linen and alpaca wool scarf with stripes and different colours is a tribute to our ancestors. Our grandparents, AVÓ and AVOA (meaning ‘grandfather’ and ‘grandmother’ in Galician) have been the inspiration when weaving them.

They, who knew other very hard and difficult times, always preferred quality fabrics to wear. On Sundays, they went out  wearing their perfectly sewn and knitted warm garments. In fact, they highly valued handmade and quality fabrics because they often did not have the possibility of owning them.

The memory of their woollen scarves around their necks when they took us to school, their impeccable coats when they went for a walk, or their taste for natural fibres with impeccable workmanship, has helped us to design this timeless linen and woollen scarf, made with the same affection that they gave to us throughout their lives.

The scarves in these collections, in different colours and designs, have a linen wrap and are hand-woven on our handloom in Allariz (Galicia) with alpaca wool or silk, which gives them a special lightness and softness.

There is also one piece of each model, following our philosophy of creating a unique piece for each different person. Their designs have been updated and we have chosen stripes in different proportions to create timeless designs and fabrics that remind us of the fabrics of our grandparents, which we would not have minded inheriting.

These pieces are unisex. Although we have labelled them as AVÓ and AVOA, you can have them if you are a man or a woman. They are the perfect accessory for men or womenbecause of their designs.
