Kivu is an ethical brand inside and out.
When each scarf is printed, a length is sent back to the women in Rwanda who create beads
to sell and raise money for their families. Through its work with Women For Women
International, Kivu actively supports the economic growth and social, cultural and
commercial advancement of women in developing countries.
Aviss new range of scarves take their design inspiration from the deconstructed pavements
of Bosnia -Herzgovinia. The print is based on the pavements in Sarajevo where mortar
bombs landed during the war and left the pavements marked, marks filled in with red resin
that are still there today, called a Sarejevo Rose. Mortar rounds landing on concrete created
a unique fragmentation pattern that looks almost floral in arrangement. This is the
inspiration for these beautiful scarves. Bosnia is where Women for Women International
started 20 years ago, this collection marks two decades of work.
