Tibet scarf

from £55.00

Southern Tibetan Plateau in muted browns and rust with vibrant aqua blue

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

Tammam, with the European Space Agency, are putting these incredible images of Earth from Space onto sustainable fabrics, and creating circular conscious accessories to help raise awareness of climate change and its effect on our planet.

About the Image

The Tibetan Plateau was created by continental collision some 55 million years ago when the north-moving Indian Plate collided with the Eurasian Plate, causing the land to crumple and rise. And rise it did. With an average elevation exceeding 4500 m and an area of 2.5 million sq km, it is the highest and largest plateau in the world today.

The plateau is also the world’s third largest store of ice, after the Arctic and Antarctic. In recent years, rising temperatures have caused rapid melting.

These areas are increasingly at risk as climate change taking its toll on the world’s glaciers causes accelerated melting.

From their vantage point 800 km high, satellites can monitor changes in glacier mass, melting and other effects that climate change has on our planet.
