Vancouver-based not-for-profit Obakki Foundation launched on Monday two new limited-edition scarf colours as part of its Scarves for Water Program.
 
The new Scarves for Water colours are called Twilight (deep blue) and Azure (teal blue). The scarves are a lightweight modal blend composed of 65 percent rayon and 35 percent modal, and are 130 by 130 cm.  

The Scarves for Water program raises money to bring clean water to villages in remote areas of South Sudan, Africa. The sale of 500 scarves allows for the construction of a new water well.
 
All scarves are limited-edition with only 500 available for sale. Once 500 have been sold, each colour is considered “retired” and will never be sold again. There are currently five other limited edition colour scarves available.

Every village is assigned a specific scarf colour. The Twilight will bring clean water to the village of Gul Mar, South Sudan, while the Azure scarf will bring a water well to the remote village of Madoli, South Sudan.

Obakki Designs is a world-renowned, luxury fashion label offering classic and refined styles for the modern woman. Gwyneth Paltrow, Kate Hudson and Zooey Deschanel have all been photographed wearing Obakki.
