HOPE, PEACE, JOY, and LOVE will be hand painted on the right side of the stole. The left side features the phrase WE WAIT. Note that the amount of space above and below the design may be different, depending on the length of the stole you order. This stole will be created for you with text in in a rich plum paint.

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.

This stole is also available in indigo (midnight blue), bright blue, or bright purple, with pink used for the third week (Joy). See separate listings. Also, some traditions have a different order for the hope/peace/joy/love weeks in Advent, so if you need an adjustment to the order of the words, let me know!
