The perfect accessory for the eco-conscious person!
We have partnered with Australian ethical hijabs brand, Modesty Hut, to bring you a line of ethically manufactured scarves/shawls made of sustainable, natural fabrics.
“The Providence” Collection shawls are made with sustainability and ethics in mind.
Its Premium Rayon Modal fabric is truly amazing!
It's certified with Standard 100 by OEKO-TEX® - one of the world's best-known labels for textiles tested for harmful substances. This means no toxic chemicals penetrating to your skin if you sweat. Eco-friendly plant-based dye is used to give earthy shades to this collection.
It’s 100% biodegradable derived from wood pulp. Polyester fabrics take up to 200 years to decompose, but premium modal rayon will take SIX WEEKS! You should be able to compost it in your garden/under the ground at the end of its life. What an environmentally-friendly way to cover.
Our supplier guarantees that no deforestation occurs to make the fabric and trees are planted as part of the process.
The Collection is ethically manufactured in India by a business that follows sustainable work processes and provides fair-trade working conditions for all its employees – so you can rest assured there is no form of forced labour in the production of this Collection as with all our products!

Care Instructions:
Laundry:
- Please follow instructions to prolong the life of your hijab/shawl.
- Wash in cold water using a very mild detergent by hand or machine wash on delicate cycle in a laundry bag with similar fabrics and colours.
- For a natural alternative, use a dash of vinegar for optimal care. This will keep the natural fabric soft and protect the colour and fabric.
- Do not spot clean or soak.
- Do not use stain removing detergents.
- Do not rub the natural fabric.
- Do not wring to release excess water if hand washing.
- Do not tumble dry.
- Do not dry in direct sunlight.
- Dry in shade and iron on a silk setting.
- Can be dry cleaned.
Use of pins
- We recommend using hijab magnet clips
- If using pins, the fabric may snag and make holes so please use with care by using a sharp pin and keeping fabric loose for movement to avoid fabric pulling and making holes.
Notes:
- Colours may vary due to photography/monitor lighting and/or manufacturing.
- Minor defects may be present due to the nature of the natural fabric and weave.
- When hand washing you may experience a small amount of what looks like a colour run, but rest assured it is the ecofriendly fixers that seal in the colour, not the actual dye. It will subside after the first few washes. By using laundry softener or vinegar, it will act as a sealer of the natural dye and softener of fabric. Avoid using any harsh laundry and stain removing detergents as this will break down the fixers.
- The fabric is a natural and biodegradable fibre so it will deteriorate over time. The longevity is dependent on how you treat the fabric so follow all care instructions.
