Every Mother’s Day, families venture out to find the perfect gift for their lovely moms. This year, look no further, The ATTICCO has the perfect range of scarves and gifts to show your mother you truly care. Every single one of Atticco’s products is made with the utmost attention to detail, from choosing the fabrics to the techniques used to create each individual product, the team at The ATTICCO has your needs in mind.
First and foremost, comes the quality of the fabric used in our products. There is a range of various fabrics to choose from, beginning with the soft and breathable cotton, flawless for a spring scarf. This delightful cotton is used in our versatile sarongs, which can also be used as beautiful table covers, picnic mats, and even curtains. Not only is this fabric amazing quality, but the technique used to create these scarves is even better. Our sheer chiffon scarf is also a spring favorite, lightweight, yet it keeps you perfectly warm. Furthermore, our cotton and chiffon scarves are created using the hand-block technique. This technique makes our scarves unique from any other you could pick for your mother. This traditional technique begins with the creation of custom carved wooden blocks, which are then stamped onto the cotton fabric. This process is quite lengthy, requiring perfect blocks, alignment, and placement. After the printing is complete, the fabrics are then washed and sun dried. This extremely difficult process is what makes Atticco scarves unique, no other printing technique requires the same craftsmanship as hand-block printing. This intricate process is evidently worth it, the beautiful designs on these scarves, sarongs, and other products are unlike any other.
Along with hand-block printing, our silk scarves are also created using the Shibori technique of dyeing. This traditional Japanese technique is an art form, requiring immense refined skill. Every pattern is individually sewn into the scarves and then hand-dyed. After the fabric is dyed, every individual stitch is undone by hand. This process is extremely difficult and time consuming, however the results are beautiful. The Shibori technique ensures every pattern is unique and different, with no two scarves being identical. Adding to the charm of the ATTICCO’s products, no other scarf will ever be able to replicate the one your mom will receive. Not to mention these scarves also utilize sustainable packaging, so you are also helping the environment with your purchase.
The story of those creating these scarves is equally interesting as the techniques used to create the Shibori scarves. The Atticco collaborates with a co-op in rural Rajasthan to create these scarves. This organization provides rural women, who were abandoned by their husbands that left while searching for job opportunities. Therefore, the Atticco helps provide these women with a stable income, allowing them to display their craftsmanship to provide for their families. There is no gift more perfect for Mother’s Day than scarves made by mothers, for mothers. By purchasing an ATTICCO product, you are not only making your own mother happy, but you are helping another mother support her family.
Any product that you purchase from the ATTICCO has its own unique story, from the fabric used, technique administered, to those who created it. What better gift could you give to your mother to encapsulate the true spirit of Mother’s Day?
