Made in France: Létol Organic Scarves Have That Je Ne Sais Quoi!
A gorgeous turban look at The Retreat Costa Rica with my Létol scarf!
I can’t get enough of my Létol organic scarf: Maybe it’s the unusual pattern combination (my Sophie scarf contains 12 different patterns, plus a giraffe scene!), or maybe it’s the supersoft fabric, which feels so gentle against my neck. Or maybe it’s that certain je ne sais quoi that comes from things that are Made in France, as these scarves are.
Launched in 2011, in a small town in the south of France, these organic cotton scarves are dyed with organic, noncarcinogenic dyes, too. And at the end of the process, each scarf is washed in the famous soap “Savon de Marseille.”

According to the company, “Létol’s scarves carry the ALTER-TEX label, guaranteeing an eco-friendly approach in the French and European textile industry.” How fabulous is that? I love that the company makes such beautiful woven scarves and has such a thoughtful mindset about how they do it.
