The magazine is a secular publication. Readers, both Christian and non-Christian, may not always agree with all its conclusions. But it is an excellent catalyst for better informed thought and action. It pulls no punches yet at the same time is written with sensitivity and compassion … could be of immense help in our becoming more globally aware and responsible citizens.

Gil Cann, editor, Working Together (published by the Australian Evangelical Alliance)

New Internationalist weighs the world on the scales of justice. By tapping into a vast global network of activists, the compassionately written and tightly edited magazine breathes life into the struggles, projects, and people who are working to build a better planet.

UTNE Reader, in nominating the New Internationalist magazine for the 2010 Independent Press Awards.

New Internationalist magazine is a fantastic, informative "tell it like it really is" read and gives me an insight into what is actually going on on this poor battered planet we temporarily inhabit.

The Demena scarf is inspired by the traditional Ethiopian thin cotton scarves that women wear every day. Made of 100% Ethiopian cotton and dyed using indigo, it's really two scarves in one, tacked together along the seam. The two shades of blue add a new twist to the traditionally white Ethiopian scarves and make a wonderful inexpensive and versatile fashion accessory.

200 x 60 cm.

Ethiopian cotton rivals its Egyptian neighbour with what is considered to be one of the best quality cottons in the world. Ethiopia's climatic conditions and land resources favour the growth of cotton and have supported the weaving tradition
in Ethiopia.

Wash with mild soap or shampoo in cool water. Twist and hang to dry, but not in direct sun - this style of scarf is not usually ironed.
