We're adding to our collaboration with top female travel blogger Adventurous Kate with the brand new Manhattan scarf - chosen by her!
If you're looking for an ultra-soft, luxurious fabric this is it. the Adventurous Kate Manhattan scarf is stunning - it's extremely high quality, stunningly soft and feels amazing on. The BW pattern looks good with everything and can go from casual to dressy in an instant. Additionally, bamboo fabric is antibacterial and cool to the touch but perhaps the most interesting thing about this fabric is that it self-regulates your temperature - if you're warm it will cool you and if you're cool it will warm you.
Meet up with friends for drinks on a rooftop bar in Manhattan or dress up your work clothing with a beautiful and useful accessory - whatever you do in it, this beautiful scarf will add a bit of style and functionality to your wardrobe.
Although it is beautiful, the best part of this fun infinity scarf is the hidden pocket!
HIDDEN POCKET: The pocket is large enough to carry your passport, phone, small guide book, glasses, lip balm or any other item you want to secretly stash! No one will ever know you have a secret pocket hidden in your scarf making it the perfect place to keep your items safe!
All Speakeasy Travel Scarves feature a double stitched pocket for maximum durability and a hidden, self locking zipper for additional security.
FABRIC: This infinity scarf will be made from a gorgeous bamboo rayon fabric with a black and white abstract pattern throughout. Bamboo is antibacterial and cool to the touch and it self regulates your temperature.
SIZE: Scarf will measure a circumference of appx. 69" long and appx. 8" wide. The zipper pocket is approximately 9"x9" and hidden inside the scarf. All of our scarves are handmade thus sizes may vary slightly.
The size of our scarves allows them to be worn in different ways: Two loops around the neck in the typical infinity style, three loops around the neck for a close fitting cowl style or one loop across the body like a sash.
CARE: Spot clean or wash on cold delicate and lie flat or hang to dry. No fabric softener.
Speakeasy Travel Scarves are Perfect for...
Travel - Thwart pickpockets, make transportation a breeze or store cash, phone, and necessary items for day trips.
Hands Free Daily Lifestyle - People love them for running errands, walking the dog, hanging out with children, etc.
Festivals/Concerts - Yes, you can fit a flask in them!
Sporting Events - Good for anything you don't want to carry in a clear, plastic bag or extra mittens, hand warmers, etc.
Student Life - For fun and also for safety, some have kept pepper spray or a whistle in the pocket.
Work - Teachers LOVE these scarves. They often times do not want to leave their phone on their desk and usually have very limited pockets in their clothing. Also office folk love them for key cards, etc.
Handicap Accessibility - These scarves are great for anyone who is wheelchair or walker bound or simply has a difficult time getting around. Wheelchair bound men in particular have used them in place of using their back pocket which they normally cannot access easily. My father lost a leg and wore one as a sash because it was easy for him to access the items he needed and not loose balance. We are happy to donate a scarf to anyone who needs one for these purposes.
Medications - Very useful for anyone that needs to have a certain medication, like an Epi pen, on them at all times.
Kids - Kids love these and we can make "treasure hunters" in different sizes if the child is small.
Menopause - Some people have used the pocket for an ice pack and they then position the pocket on the back of their neck. Especially useful if you are going through hot flashes at work. Keep in mind as the ice pack melts the scarf could show damp spots temporarily.
Have you used one of our scarves for another reason? Please drop us a line and let me know! I am always interested to hear the unique ways they are being used!
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.
