Sevya – “The Art of Caring”

The word “Sevya” means “caring through service; caring for humanity and for the environment we live in.” If you haven’t found a Mother’s Day present yet, look no further! Sevya scarves are the perfect way to tell your mother how much she means to you, and make her feel beautiful from the inside out! Because through your Sevya purchase, you are doing much more than buying a scarf.

This meaningful name  is one that Sevya, the clothing and accessories manufacturers, easily live up to through their environmental and social business goals and ethics.

All Sevya products are handcrafted with the finest of natural fibers and materials in India. As a certified member of the Fair Trade Federation, Sevya’s artisans are provided a fair wage, and an opportunity to preserve the traditional indigenous art forms of India.


Sevya maintains a direct line with the artisan communities and finds them markets in the U.S. and other countries. In so doing, they ensure that ancient art forms (and the cultures that create them) are preserved. Additionally, Sevya works with artisans to increase their capacity to produce and market products, as well as preserve the eco-friendly methods of handicraft production.
The artistic traditions behind Fair trade stem from indigenous cultures which value the earth’s resources and also value the discipline and wisdom inherent in these traditions. By supporting Fair trade, Sevya contributes to the preservation of indigenous cultures, supports traditional artisan communities, invests in community-based development programs, and safeguards natural resources. Fair Trade also ensures a better future for these communities.

We would like to introduce a few of our radiantly colorful silk scarves that are part of the Spring collection:

The handwoven Sea Green silk Scarf is a uniquely layered scarf with a range of lime green silk, which vaguely resembles the layers that are created by honeybees in a hive. This scarf, inspired by nature, is made from 95% silk and less than 5% lycra, giving a really soft authentic feel.

Additionally, the Ruffled scarf by Sevya is bunched with traditional weaving techniques to create an interesting texture for the silk, and gives the illusion of elasticity, which leads to straight pieces of patterned silk.

As you can see, all Sevya scarves have an ethereal quality, which often make them seemingly shine in multiple colors. See these and more scarves from Sevya at Jute and Jackfruit!

Additionally, Sevya puts their revenue back into need-based development program around India by the All India Movement for Seva. www.aimforseva.org
