• Product Description

• This exquisite rayon and silk blend scarf is an artful representation of the Declaration of Independence, based on the iconic Stone Engraving. This is not just a scarf; it's a wearable testament to the spirit of freedom and the birth of a nation.

  The fabric whispers tales of over 5,000 years of craftsmanship in Indian textile making. Under the light, the intricate dance of rayon and silk fibers is revealed and creates a soft, lightweight embrace on your skin.

  Masterfully hand-screened, the letters of the Declaration of Independence emerge in a vibrant contrast of red script on a parchment-colored base. The screening process is an art form in itself, where each line and curve of the historic text is transferred with a human touch, ensuring that no two scarves are ever identical.

  This commemorative scarf has two woven labels sewn on to mark it as a National Archives Store exclusive special edition for the 250th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence and the birth of the United States of America. It is also available with blue print, black print, and black print on partially burnt-out fabric.

Drafted by 33-year-old Thomas Jefferson between June 11 and June 28, 1776, the Declaration of Independence is the nation's most cherished symbol of liberty. It was adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, and announced that the 13 American colonies, then at war with Great Britain, regarded themselves as independent states and no longer a part of the British Empire.

In 2026, the United States will be celebrating 250 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Visit the National Archives Foundation website for more information on the festivities and celebrations that are being planned for America’s 250th Anniversary.

The original Declaration of Independence is on permanent display in the Rotunda at the National Archives Museum.
