This stole is made from a recycled burlap coffee sack, providing a rustic look that seems appropriate for the season of waiting for the Savior who was born in a manger. The words EMMANUEL and GOD WITH US, along with a large Bethlehem star are painted in purple or blue, as pictured. Fully lined with recycled felt for stability, backed with 100% cotton. See full description for more information.

The burlap is sourced from a nearby coffee producer, and has been thoroughly cleaned. Bear in mind that due to the nature of the burlap material, slubs and slight irregularities are to be expected and add to the character of this stole; additionally, text that was printed on the coffee sack is often still visible on the stole.

This stole is made with a tapered neck, approximately 2 1/2" at the neck, 4 1/2" for most of the length. Length can be anywhere from 44" to approximately 52" from the neck to the end. I can sometimes create a stole 54” or 56”; contact me to determine availability. (Cannot be longer because the coffee sacks are that size.)

As shown on the listing for this stole, the reverse of the stole has a label that conveys that the stole is made from a reclaimed burlap coffee sack, indicates the country of origin for the coffee originally in the the coffee sack and the origin of the burlap bag itself, and provides the inspiration for the design painted on the stole.  See pictures for an example.

Stole is fully lined with recycled P.E.T. felt for stability, backed with a soft 100% cotton. Not reversible.

Packaged in a tin-tie bag often used to package coffee beans, ready for gifting. The bag is made from 40% recycled natural kraft paper lined with a compostable clear film made from plants, providing an earth-friendly yet waterproof way to protect your stole during shipment.

I can definitely create this stole using different paint colors at no extra charge; other changes may require a slight surcharge depending on amount of time it will take.
