Women's Blue Hand-Dyed Mulberry Silk Scarf, Evening Shawl Wrap

A vivid royal blue scarf in 100% mulberry habotai silk, hand-dyed by artisans in Nha Xa, Vietnam's 700-year-old silk-weaving village. Worn as a scarf, evening shawl or wrap. Each scarf is hand-loomed and hand-dyed in small batches, then finished on bamboo drying frames in our family atelier in Vietnam - a slow process that gives the silk its glass-like sheen and featherlight drape. Small slubs in the weave or gentle variations in the colour are the signature of handwork, so no two pieces are ever identical. Designed in England, handmade in Vietnam. As featured in British Vogue, Tatler and Grazia. THE DETAILS One size: 85 x 180 cm. Featherlight habotai (approx. 60 g): a floating layer with a soft sheen, not a heavy winter pashmina. Dry clean recommended, or hand wash cold. Arrives gift boxed, ready to give. STYLING Over the shoulders as an evening shawl; loosely knotted at the neck with a winter coat; draped over black velvet or tailoring; tied to a bag or in the hair. THE OCCASION Christmas parties, festive dinners and the theatre, then weddings and the races in summer. A considered Christmas gift in real silk. | Silk and Bears Women's Royal Blue Hand-Dyed Mulberry Silk Scarf, Evening Shawl Wrap Colour: blue
