Our slate blue BIBEK scarf is handwoven from vegan banana yarn in a generous oversized shape, finished with soft tasselled ends. Warm, cosy and naturally textured, it is a calm wool-free scarf designed for everyday winter layering.
Handwoven at Deepchand’s workshop in Bhaktapur, Nepal, each scarf is made from banana plant fibre: a plant-based yarn created using the waste foliage of the banana plant. The result is a slate blue scarf with a soft blue-grey tone, breathable warmth and a naturally textured finish that becomes softer and more fluid with washing and wear.
The muted slate blue shade feels calm, wearable and easy to style. Softer than navy and less bright than vivid blue, it pairs beautifully with charcoal, denim, camel, cream, olive green and relaxed winter layers.
Whether you are searching for a blue scarf, a slate blue vegan scarf, a thoughtful vegan gift or a wool-free winter layer with a story, BIBEK is designed to feel useful, tactile and quietly distinctive.

A Calm Slate Blue Shade For Everyday Winter Layers
This slate blue scarf brings a muted blue-grey tone to winter dressing that feels calm and easy to wear. The softened blue shade adds colour without feeling overpowering, making it easy to pair with favourite coats, knitwear and everyday layers.
It works especially well with:

As each scarf is handwoven and dyed in small batches, slight variations in colour and texture are part of its handmade character. Lighting and screen settings may also affect how colours appear.
Made From Vegan Banana Plant Fibre
Banana yarn is created using the waste foliage of the banana plant. After fruit harvest, the plant is cut back so it can regrow for the next season. The leftover stalks and leaf sheaths are then processed into fibre, creating a plant-based yarn with natural texture and a gentle silky sheen.
The banana fibre used for BIBEK comes from the Terai farming region of South Nepal, helping create additional income opportunities for local farming communities while keeping production within Nepal.
For customers looking for a vegan scarf or wool-free winter scarf, BIBEK offers a natural-feeling alternative to wool, cashmere and synthetic acrylic scarves.
Oversized, Unisex And Easy To Wear
Measuring approximately 195 × 50 cm, BIBEK has a slightly oversized shape that can be wrapped, draped or layered comfortably over coats and knitwear.
The generous proportions provide warmth and coverage without feeling bulky or heavy. The unisex shape works beautifully as:
- a slate blue scarf for women
- a men’s blue scarf
- an oversized winter scarf
- a vegan scarf gift
Whether worn for commuting, countryside walks, travel or everyday layering, BIBEK is designed to feel practical, comfortable and effortless to style.
Handwoven Character, Not Factory Perfection
BIBEK has a rustic handwoven finish rather than a perfectly smooth factory-made surface. Small variations in weave and texture are part of the scarf’s handmade story and connect the wearer to the artisan who prepared the loom and wove the fabric by hand.
The banana yarn feels naturally textured at first and becomes softer, smoother and more fluid with washing and wear.
If you love natural fibres, tactile fabrics and accessories with visible character, this is exactly where BIBEK shines.
Handmade In Nepal
AURA QUE has worked with Deepchand’s workshop in Bhaktapur, Nepal for over a decade. The workshop supports local women artisans who work flexible hours close to home, helping them earn an income around family commitments.
Each scarf is individually handwoven using traditional weaving techniques, making every piece slightly unique.
This is thoughtful small-scale craftsmanship designed to be worn, used and loved for years.
A Thoughtful Vegan Scarf Gift
Warm, wearable and full of story, the BIBEK slate blue scarf makes a thoughtful gift for birthdays, Christmas, winter celebrations or anyone who appreciates handmade accessories with natural texture.
The calm slate blue shade feels easy to wear and versatile, while the one-size unisex shape makes gifting simple. The banana fibre story gives the scarf a distinctive point of difference that feels far more personal than a generic high-street accessory.
Especially ideal for:
- vegans
- people avoiding wool

Care Instructions
