Sudan Sugar Scarf
The Kenana Sugar Company in Sudan in vibrant yellow, green, pink and 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.
About the Image
The flood plains east of the White Nile river in southern Sudan are featured in this image.
Fields visible in yellow are part of the Kenana Sugar Company, Africa's largest sugarcane industrial complex.
Globally, the area of sugarcane is rising rapidly in responde to growing demands for biofuel and increased sugar demand.
Sudan is the world's fifth most vulnerable country to the impacts of climate change.
This image was created by combining the near-infrared channels of three separate acquisitions, with colours varying according to crop type and growth stage.
