Botanical Dye Silk Scarves

Fresh botanical colours captured in these lovely pure silk scarves.

A wafty light-weight plain weave silk, paj, also knows as pongee, offers a wonderful lustre for natural dyes. 

Locally dyed-by-hand - a slow, multi-step process of preparing the fabric and extracting dye colour - each scarf is unique, as no two dye pots are the same, irregularities in texture and colour are part of their natural, handmade charm. 

Four colours to choose from in this collection - dyed with indigo, acacia and myrobalan.

Measuring 200cm long x 55cm wide with a hand-rolled hem, these pieces are light to wear, making a versatile addition to your wardrobe, transitioning between the seasons.

Natural colours evolve over time, as all things in nature do. Exposure to sun hastens the process. Scarves can be refreshed with a plant-based dye bath or eco-print.

CARE Occasional hand-wash only, very gently, in cold water. Dry in shade.

I do my best to represent colours accurately, naturally dyed textiles reflect different tones and depths of colour in different lights. Please allow for variations with different screens and monitors.
