This skinny scarf is made from an upcycled vintage silk Kimono dyed in the Katazome 型染め method, a Japanese method of dyeing fabrics using a resist paste applied through a stencil, typically a rice flour mixture applied with a brush or a palette knife. The stencils are used repeatedly to make a repeating pattern. The area of the fabric covered and permeated by the paste mixture resists the application of dye, thus creating undyed areas within the fabric. Detailed colors are then added by hand-painting or immersion dyeing.
Dimensions
8cm×140cm / 3”x55”
100% silk
Dry clean
