Arghand's exclusive scarves were designed by members of the cooperative in consultation with a master weaver in the western city of Herat. The fabric is cultivated from silk worms  imported from China.  The resulting threads are then hand-dyed and painstakingly hand-woven on traditional wooden looms.   The design is based on the customary Afghan turban, which continues to be worn proudly by men.  By offering these scarves for sale, Arghand helps to preserve Afghanistan's artisanal heritage.

Arghand scarves are 64 inches  or 162.5 cm long, and 19 inches or  48.5 cm wide.
