TURN TIMES: This scarf will be made the 4th week of May.
Say hello to San Felipe!
This is our brand new travel scarf inspired by the colors and Serape blankets made in Mexico. We love Mexico and wanted to bring some of the warmth and vibrant colors from the country into our collection so we bring to you the beautiful San Felipe! We are in LOVE with this scarf!
QUALITY CRAFTSMANSHIP & SECURITY: Did you know Speakeasy Travel Scarves were created for travelers by travelers? All of our scarves come with self locking zippers and all of our hidden pockets are double stitched for maximum durability!
This baja inspired serape scarf is truly unique. We have not seen a scarf like this anywhere and it looks amazing on! It is a statement piece that you can use to add instant style to your wardrobe.
Although it is beautiful, the best part of this fun infinity scarf is the hidden pocket!
The pocket is large enough to carry your passport, small guide book, phone, keys and any other items you want to secretly stash! The third photo shows the scarf with an iPhone 6 and a passport in the pocket and you cannot tell there is anything there. The thicker nature of this fabric makes it perfect for stashing larger items, like flasks, as well.
No one will ever know you have a secret pocket hidden in your scarf making it the perfect place to keep your items safe!
Turn heads on the subway or warm yourself at a Baja beach campfire while the sun goes down. This one of a kind scarf is all you need to make your style a bit more unique while bringing the colors of Mexico into your life.
This two toned infinity scarf will be made from a medium/heavy weight serape blanket fabric (yup, it's made from a serape blanket) and backed with a soft black sweater knit fabric.
The idea of this scarf came from traveling and the need to have a safe place to store your valuables while keeping them close at hand. It's perfect for all types of travel whether you're headed abroad or to the grocery store!
Wash seperately on cold delicate and lie flat to dry. Please note the serape fabric is handwoven in Mexico, expect slight variances.

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.

International Shipping
Do you ship internationally?
That's a big YES! We've sent orders all over this beautiful world including some places where we haven't even been yet like Iraq!
Currently, to keep shipping costs down we use USPS International First Class for all of our international orders. Remember, sometimes international shipping can take a long time. Customs may hold your package for a number of days or weeks. Be patient and give it at least 30 days. If you think your order is stuck or lost in the mail, let us know by contacting us. Depending on the country we may be able to find out more information but if we can't then there isn't much we can do but wait it out. If you would like to guarantee or rush an international delivery date then we can ship via FedEx or UPS courier. We will be happy to provide you a quote if you are interested.

USPS International First Class mail does NOT offer tracking for that shipping option. The only way to track an international order is via courier. Please contact us for pricing.
What about duties and fees?
Due to the complex nature of international laws and taxes, we do not include those fees in orders. You are responsible for any local customs and duties on your order. We are required by law to disclose the full value of the package contents and cannot alter this value. If an order is refused, then you are responsible for the original shipping expenses, as well as any additional duties, fees, customs or taxes incurred in shipping. We cannot mark an item as a 'gift'.
