Indigo Dyed Silk Chiffon Large Stole - Summer Twilight

This is a large silk chiffon stole that drapes beautifully with a soft fold. It has been dyed with Indian indigo. Size is approximately 87cm x 144cm. Weight is 32g. The chiffon is light and airy. Like a deepening "summer twilight," the overlapping sections appear slightly darker, creating a beautiful gradation. Even on hot summer days, you might find yourself feeling chilled from air conditioning around your neck and shoulders. This stole can be lightly draped for a stylish way to stay warm. We hope you will enjoy this "gift from nature." ◇ Silk is a natural fiber renowned for its excellent "protective and restorative effects" on the skin, so much so that it is used in "medical applications." As an animal fiber that nurtures silkworms, it also possesses "heat retention and moisture-wicking properties," as well as "UV protection" to block ultraviolet rays, making it suitable for year-round use. ◇ Complimentary gift wrapping is available.
