Handmade Cashmere Scarf from Nepal by Casana Designs
Casana Designs is a luxury collection of the finest cashmere scarves and wraps from Nepal.
Crafted from natural, sustainable and eco-friendly materials, the prints and patterns include floral and animal designs as well as solid and geographic patterns
The brand’s Designer and Founder, Carrie Chen implements her socially- conscious vision by employing artisans in Nepal to weave the collection in environmentally-friendly facilities adhering to strict ethical standards. It was upon a visit to the deeply spiritual nation of Nepal that the Casana collection was born. At the end of Chen’s trip, she was presented with a beautiful scarf “khatha,” a traditional Tibetan gift of appreciation. Inspired to share this gift which appropriately brings warmth to others, Chen set upon to create the Casana brand.
Chen believes strongly in giving back and as such donates 10% of all proceeds to support charities that aid the education of children.
