Our Faux Bois scarves, available in rust/natural and green/natural, are beautiful, modern, and perfect for fall. Both scarves support the work of Amphibian Ark, an organization that works to ensure the survival of amphibian species, focusing on those that cannot currently be safe-guarded in nature.
