TURN TIMES: This cozy cowl will ship in 1 - 3 business days. We also offer e-gift cards.
Our San Ignacio cozy cowl is gorgeous, unique and super comfy. This is a two sided, reversible cowl and once you have it on, you won't want to take it off! One side is made from a Guatemalan fabric in a vintage purple/orange/black pattern and the other side is a super soft and cozy black sherpa fabric.
Wear either side for maximum versatility!
No matter which side you wear you will be snuggled up in warmth and softness. Perfect for all outdoor activities and also for for fighting off the chill at home or work.
This cowl is perfect for winter but also could be easily worn year round on cooler beach and camping nights. It reminds me of our trip to San Ignacio, Mexico (it's namesake) where we camped on a seaside cliff so that we could take small boats out to the bay to see the baby grey whales that had been born there (trip of a lifetime btw). The days were warm but the nights around the campfire were cold and windy and this would've been perfect for that trip.
The purple side of this fabric was woven and dyed in a women's cooperative in Guatemala. The dye has been fixed but to be safe, please only wash with dark colors. The color is quite hard to capture in photos, it is primarily purple with bits of orange, black, blue and yellow throughout. It has a beautiful, faded vintage look to it.
Please Note: This cowl is appx. 28" in circumference which will fit easily over most people's heads easily. I have a pretty large noggin' and it fits over my head easily. If you have a head larger than 28" around please contact me so I can make your cowl a bit larger. For kids we offer a 24" circumference. The fabric does not stretch so please choose accordingly.
FABRIC: This infinity cowl will be made from a purple Guatemalan fabric backed with a black, fluffy sherpa fabric. Please wash with dark colors only.
SIZE: Cowl will measure a circumference of appx. 28" and appx. 9" wide. All of our products are handmade thus sizes may vary slightly.
CARE: Spot clean or wash on cold delicate and lie flat or dry on warm. DO NOT IRON the sherpa side.
HANDMADE IN THE USA WITH QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP & SECURITY IN MIND
Did you know Speakeasy Travel Scarves were created for travelers by travelers? We spent years traveling the world full time (BeersandBeans.com) before coming up with the idea for our scarves.
Each scarf is hand crafted in the USA. I personally make about 75% of the scarves that we sell. We also employ my mother and additional sewers in Florida to help keep up with demand.
Quality control is of the utmost importance to us.
We do not want this scarf to fail you when you are out on the road so we take extra steps to ensure each scarf is heirloom quality and will provide you with years of service and good looks!
Additionally, all of our scarves come with self locking zippers (they won't accidentally open on you) and ALL of our hidden pockets are double stitched or serged for maximum durability!
We spend a LOT of time choosing fabrics.
We choose fabrics that are comfy yet stable enough to hold up on the road. We also choose fabrics that will work in a variety of climates.
Going to Alaska? Grab a cozy sweater knit.
Going on a island cruise or to Southeast Asia? Make sure you pick up one of our summer scarves. These fabrics are cool to the touch and are specifically designed to cool you down instead of warm you up.
Go to Antartica? Please contact us directly for a Polar Explorer scarf. These are extremely warm and thick scarves that we custom make for your trip.
You can shop by season on our site to choose easily.
We use only high quality, self locking zippers.
I've been asked why we don't use invisible zippers and the answer is simple: Quality
In my experience invisible zippers aren't as high in quality or reliable as the ones we use and they also carry the potential of catching your scarf and ruining the fabric. The zippers we use are sturdy, self locking and meant to last. And don't worry our design completely hides the zipper so no one will know it is there!
Locking the zipper is as easy as making sure the zipper pull is in the down position.
Necessity is the mother of invention and I created our Speakeasy scarves to solve a problem common to travelers - the need for a safe and secure place to store your passport, phone and other items.
Our History:
Did you know Speakeasy Travel Scarves were created for travelers by travelers? We spent years traveling the world full time (BeersandBeans.com) before coming up with the idea for our scarves.
When I traveled, I refused to wear a money belt (too ugly and inconvenient) but I always had at least 2 scarves with me on every trip. I was also wearing a lot of leggings on long travel days which made it even more difficult for me to have the things I needed on hand. After dropping my phone one too many times on different planes (kept falling out of my sweater pocket) I realized the perfect solution was already with me - a scarf with a secret pocket. After I got home from that trip I started making these scarves (believe it or not with a needle and thread before I got a sewing machine). I tested them out and was shocked at how well they worked. So I started giving them to friends and family and everyone loved them!
I started a shop on Etsy, shortly after that our scarves were picked up in Buzzfeed and the rest is history! They've been featured on Buzzfeed numerous times, Mashable, CNN, Yahoo, Smarter Travel, Hello Giggles, Brit + Co, Airfare Watchdog, Islands Magazine and Conde Nast just to name a few. It's been a wild ride!
Convenience:
And not only were they useful for flying (and i always put snacks, lotion, anti bacterial gel, etc in there too!) but they made going through TSA a breeze and they turned out to be the perfect security measure for all our travels.
Thwart Pickpockets:
I know so many people who have been the victims of pickpockets on their travels - but with this scarf it's impossible because no one knows you have a secret pocket! So you can go ahead and fall asleep on that midnight train or walk around the Eiffel Tower handsfree. Our scarves are the perfect blend of safety, security, quality and good looks all rolled into one. Travel with one once and you will never travel without it again.
