Desert 500 Hiking Scarf

ORGANIC COTTON

Mindful of the need to take care of the environment, which is our playground, we decided to work with organic farmers to make this desert scarf.

This means that no fertilizers, chemical pesticides or GMOs were used to grow the cotton used in this desert scarf.

A traditional color that lasts

The inspiration for the blue color came from the Tuareg tradition: formally created using a plant called true indigo, it is a highly symbolic color for the Tuareg people.

What's more, dark shades, as long as they are worn on top of loose-fitting, light-colored garments, have a naturally ventilating effect that results from the heat absorption/emission ratio.

In order to ensure that this remarkable color doesn't fade, the Desert 500 scarf has been dyed in two separate baths.

Why wear a scarf in the desert

The desert scarf protects you from the sun, wind and sand:

> When worn like a turban on top of the head and along the back of the neck, it protects from the sun

> When worn across the front of the face, it also protects from the wind and sand
