Handwoven from 100% Yak Wool, our simple yet expertly crafted shawl Accent is a timeless classic that promises to be your cold weather favourite. Designed to be unisex, this shawl can be worn wrapped around the neck for extra warmth or draped over the shoulders. Warmer than merino and as soft as cashmere, this winter accessory makes layering fun!
Design Details
The Yak wool, responsibly sourced from the Himalayan highlands, in a classic weave makes the shawl Accent simple yet statement. We’ve used the natural colours of Yak wool so that it complements multiple outfits while adding a touch of elegance. Reasons we love Yak? It’s hypoallergenic (a Yak's coat doesn't contain lanolin), antibacterial, breathable, warm and so much more. Wear it once and you'll not want to take it off.

One for One
For every purchase you make, we plant a tree in your name. We send you a digital e-Tree Certificate with a link to a location marker showing where the tree was planted.
With our One for One model, in partnership with social enterprise Grow-Trees, we address community, women and nature. Tree planting generates employment for the village women, regulates the climate while improving the soil quality, which benefits farming communities.
Your impact
Yak's softness can easily be compared to that of cashmere. Himalayan nomads rely on Yaks for more than just their soft wool, a down fibre which they shed every spring. The Yaks are indispensable to the lives of the community and also provide milk and dung, that are used for the nomads' daily lives.
By assuring our Himalayan artisan partners a steady income, fair trade and job satisfaction not far from home, we ensure you get a product made with love and dignity.
