• One-of-a-kind:
Devorè (burnout) velvet creates a dramatic contrast between sheer chiffon with a shimmering plush velvet pile. The pattern go Gingko leaves was made from solid velvet using a stencil and paste that removes some rayon pile and leaves the silk backing intact. The background was dyed bordeaux and the velvet was then hand-painted with dyes in a watercolor style that makes it true wearable art.
• Washable:
This scarf was washed as part of the dying and hand-painting process. A cold, gentle machine cycle followed by a hot dryer cycle will add to its softness. It may be ironed on the reverse side.
•Measures 11"x62":
The sewn hems are rolled-edges.
•The fabric is 100% silk backing with 100% rayon pile.
All natural materials make it luxuriously soft.
