Each scarf comes with a magnetic pin that can be used to hold the scarf in place or as a pin on any other garment.

We collaborate with three Fair Trade certified producers in Nepal who handcraft our scarves and face masks. They all share our mission on empowering marginalised women with independence and freedom.

Their special mission is on empowering poor, disadvantaged and marginalized women to become independent while promoting indiginous handicraft and skills. They have specialised themselves in natural dyes and japanese shibori techniques, and have taken our natural bamboo scarves to the next level with the help of seasonal plants and herbs used in their dyes.

Are Bahini scarves soft?
All our scarves are made from bamboo linen, a durable, hard-wearing fabric that is extremely soft and comfortable to wear. As we don't use any chemicals or softeners our scarves are also hypoallergenic, perfect for sensitive skin.
Why unisex?
Everyone can carry a scarf! Our designs and styles are made to fit everyone regardless of gender.
Summer or Winter scarf?
One of the great advantages of natural bamboo linen is that it is thermo-regulating, meaning that it maintains your body temperature perfectly to ensure that you are neither too hot nor too cold! Our scarves can be worn all year round.
