HAND WOVEN 100% SILK BROCADED SCARF / SHAWL

MADE IN LAOS, ASIA.

72CM X 188CM (28" X 74")

THIS SCARF PHOTOGRAPHED IS THE ACTUAL PIECE YOU WILL RECIEVE. THERE MAY BE TINY INCONSISTENCIES IN THE SHAWL, BUT THIS IS THE CHARM OF A HANDWOVEN TEXTILE FROM A RURAL VILLAGE. THE SCARF HAS A LUSTERIOUS SHEEN IN THE SILK THAT THE PHOTOGRAPHY DOESN'T SHOW WELL ENOUGH. YOU WILL DEFINITLY BE THRILLED WITH YOUR SILK AS IT IS MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL THAN THE PHOTO DEPICTS.

THIS TEXTILE IS A HAND CRAFTED WORK OF ART, LUXURIOUS AND CONTEMPORY. LAVENDER MAUVE, BURGUNDY, GOLD AND BLACK SILK THREADS WITH A HAND KNOTTED FRINGE MAKE THIS PIECE SHIMMER. IT CAN BE USED AS A SCARF, SHAWL, HEAD DRESS, TABLE RUNNER, WALL HANGING OR A BED THROW, DUE TO ITS LARGE SIZE.

NO TWO LAOS SILKS ARE THE SAME. EACH ONE IS DIFFERENT IN COLOUR COMBINATIONS AND DESIGNS VARY. THE WORK IS VERY TIME CONSUMING AND INTRICATE. A SCARF OF THIS SIZE TAKES SEVERAL WEEKS TO COMPLETE WEAVING. IF YOU WOULD LIKE A PARTICUALR COLOUR PLEASE EMAIL ME WITH YOUR REQUEST AND I WILL DO MY BEST FOR YOU.

DURING A RECENT TRIP TO LAOS WE CAME ACROSS A GORGEOUS VILLAGE ONLY ACCESSABLE BY RIVER BOAT. HERE THE LADIES STILL METICULOUSLY HAND WEAVE FROM PURE SILK LUXURIOUS TEXTILES. THE WEAVERS HAND PICK INTRICATE BROCADE PATTERNS. THE TEXTILES HAVE TRIBAL AND RITUAL SIGNIFICANCE AND ARE WORN BY THE LOCALS AND USED AS BUDDIST TEMPLE OFFERINGS.

 

 A SCARF OF THIS SIZE AND QUALITY USUALLY RETAILS FOR $185.      MY LOW  'BUY IT NOW' PRICE OF $125 IS FOR A SHORT TIME AS I ONLY HAVE A FEW OF THESE LARGER SCARVES.

 FREE SHIIPPING IS OFFERED FOR ALL SILK PURCHASES WITHIN AUSTRALIA.
