Citta and Tonic are pleased to announce our new, two-ply, 100 percent pashmina Sūtra Scarf, hand knit by the women of the Citta Himalaya Women's Center in Nepal. In Sanskrit, the word Sūtra means "a thread or line that holds things together" — a fitting image for a project uniting a very special community of women.

Designer Lucy Barnes provided her expertise to these luxurious pieces, available in mottled grey or camel and hand embroidered with special messages chosen by celebrity supporters. From David Bowie (who chose "funk") to Susan Sarandon ("awake") to Queen Latifah ("strength"), eight actors and musicians shared words that speak to their hearts. A Berkeley scholar then translated each one into Sanskrit and passed them on to the artisans from Citta's Women's Center for the finishing touch on this perfect winter accessory.

With the holidays upon us, they make the perfect gift for family, friends and (why not?) yourself!
