Named after a serene island on Sweden’s northern coast, the FINNHAMN scarf channels the magic of a place where sea mist drifts through hues of blue, grey, and red.
Woven from fine merino wool, it features a subtle blend of light grey-blue tones with bold red accents, echoing the region’s balance of tradition and modernity. Elegant stripes give it a clean, contemporary edge.
Soft, warm, and lightweight, the FINNHAMN scarf is your perfect companion for cooler days — whether you're navigating the city or venturing into the wild.

AV08 Paris is dedicated to creating beautiful, chic and luxurious scarves that are both high-quality and pleasant to wear. Our choice of materials is based on 3 natural fibres.
- Cotton, which brings softness and comfort, and is a must-have for all our desires. AV08 has selected GOTS-certified organically grown cotton, in keeping with its eco-responsible approach.
- Linen, which we love so much by hand, gives the scarf a puffy look. It satisfies our desire for freshness and lightness, especially in summer. What's more, flax is renowned for being naturally environmentally friendly, as its cultivation requires no fertilizers and it's entirely biodegradable. So it was an obvious choice for AV08 to select this fibre.
- Wool, a natural animal fibre, provides warmth and insulation from the cold. AV08 has chosen very fine wool fibres, which don't sting (thanks to the fineness of the fibres), to make the warmest chèches. Wool is naturally environmentally friendly and remains "affordable" in terms of price. An AV08 wool scarf is soft and flowing.
Helene imagined AV08 with a commitment to responsibility at every stage : for the planet, of course, but also for the women and men who contribute to this beautiful adventure. Respect is a core value of the Maison, alongside a certain optimism, another value she holds dear.
A for Amour

AV08 is an invitation to travel.
Each scarf bears the name of a desert, an island, a beach, a forest… Extraordinary and often hidden places, whether real or imagined, that inspire a sense of wonder and celebrate the beauty of our world.
AV08 invites you to embrace adventure, optimism, the richness of colours and dreams.
A unique and personal journey, where everyone is free to express their own personality, with elegance and ease.
Our scarves are handcrafted in India, a country with traditional know-how in weaving and printing. Working with Indian workshops enables us to offer high-quality scarves.
The workshops we have selected respect working conditions designed to protect the health and safety of the workers.
And to offset the CO2 emissions from India to France, we joined and contributed to the NGO Graine de vie, which runs nurseries and plantations in Madagascar, another textile country with a large Indian community. Graine de vie also works hard to raise awareness of environmental conservation among the local population, training and employing them.
AV08 is part of the "fair consumption" movement, which involves consuming less and better. It's a win-win situation for everyone involved.
