This Nomad Sari scarf measures 170 × 50 cm and is made from a light, striped fabric. The colours are muted, one half dark plum with black stripes, the other cream with thin rose-brown stripes. A black printed compass and lotus flower with the NS monogram decorate it, both ends are fringed, and a sewn Nomad Sari label sits at the foot of the dark half. According to the brand, it is handmade in Nepal.
A compass for when the way is unclear
Each of the brand's Travel Blessing Scarves comes with its own wish. The wish for Nomad Compass is to guide you when the path is unclear, and the compass printed on the fabric fits that idea.
A present for a time of decisions
It makes a good present for someone who has just finished school, is changing careers or faces a big decision. For a graduation it goes well alongside the flowers, as a present they will keep wearing. According to Nomad Sari, in Nepal a scarf like this is placed around the shoulders of someone leaving home, as a wish for a safe journey, and you can hand it over in the same way.
Neutral colours for any coat
With one dark and one cream half, it goes with brown, grey and black coats, and stays understated when knotted at the neck. Depending on what you are wearing, let either the dark or the light half show. It is light and folds small enough for a handbag.
For a simple knot that shows both colours, fold the scarf in half, put it around your neck and pull the two loose ends through the loop at the fold. The dark and cream halves then sit side by side at the front.
