The vast Amazon river in deep blue, surrounded by subtle neutral tones.
From the ESA x TAMMAM climate change collection, using images of Earth from Space, on luxurious sustainable materials.
These scarves are simple draped accessories, the only ready to wear products the Tammam studio will create because they don’t need to fit any particular body shape or size, squares and rectangles of beautiful 100% natural fabric finished with cotton thread - created to circular principles - completely compostable - should you ever want to dispose of it, printed using an eco process with GOTS standard water based inks. Everyone in the supply chain is paid fairly for their work.
Available in handloom cotton, peace silk or embellished options.
NB due to current supply issues the cotton we use for these scarves may not be organic certified, however we are committed to sourcing the most sustainable raw materials available when we go into production, while still supporting the incredible artisans who weave this cloth.
All items are produced in very limited quantities. There may be slight variations between production runs.

Climate change
ESA and Tammam are putting these incredible images onto sustainable fabrics, and creating circular conscious accessories to help raise awareness of climate change and its effect on our planet.
About the Image
Captured by the Copernicus Sentinel-1 mission, this image shows the Amazon River meandering through one of the most vital ecosystems in the world – the Amazon rainforest in South America.
Rainforests worldwide are being destroyed at an alarming rate. This is of great concern because they play an important role in global climate, and are home to a wide variety of plants, animals and insects. More than a third of all species in the world live in the Amazon Rainforest.
Unlike other forests, rainforests have difficulty regrowing after they are destroyed and, owing to their composition, their soils are not suitable for long-term agricultural use.
With their unique view from space, Earth observation satellites have been instrumental in highlighting the vulnerability of the rainforests by documenting the scale of deforestation.
This image has been processed in a way that shows water bodies, such as the Amazon River, in blue.
Contains modified Copernicus Sentinel data (2019), processed by ESA CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO
Radars provide data in a different way than normal optical cameras, images are usually black and white when received. By using technology that aligns the radar beams the resulting data can be processed in a way that produces fabulous coloured images.
