Item details
This shop only sells in the UK. I print cards onto a sustainable English acid free, archival watercolour paper, prepared for digital print on both sides, so I can print a custom greeting inside; although cards are blank inside unless you request printed text inside. They are packed in compostable clear bags. Prints are on digital fine art papers. I specialise in hand sewing silk and natural fibres for apparel. I often re-use packaging to send you your orders.
If you want a product which is listed as unavailable or sold out, or you want to order more cards or prints than are listed in stock, please click on Contact above this announcement to send me a message and I will let you know if it is still in stock and/or if I can make more.
Please contact me if you want a postage upgrade or if you need products sent quickly.

Full description
Reduced price 100% silk stole. The lustrous silk is extra shiny because it is a satin weave. It is ex-display with a few silk paint marks. Two marks are about 0.5 cm and left a matt surface on the satin around the mark from water applied to clean these marks. There are also about a half a dozen pin head size specks of paint scattered on the stole.
The marks could be easily hidden when worn with clever draping which looks glamourous. Buy it for some me time, or as a gender neutral gift for people who prefer to waste not want not.
I would usually ask £300 for this type of stole brand new. The seconds price is £99 as aside from the marks, it has been hand washed a few times because of being on display.
The paint stayed on the silk after being washed. It should be hand washed, rolled up in a towel for a couple of hours and then ironed on the back while it is still slightly damp. Alternatively, Dry Clean by a silk specialist.
The second and third photos are close ups of the two more noticeable marks and one of the specks.
The stole measures approximately 55 x 185 cm. I hand finished the edges of this long stole, last photo.
I made 3 of these stole, there is just this one left. I also used the design to handpaint small square silk scarves, 2 are in separate listings.
The photos are on a life size dressmaking dummy.
