The city of Hanoi in Vietnam is acknowledged to produce some of the finest silk products in the world and has been producing outstanding premium quality silk for centuries. This 100% pure raw silk scarf is made in Hanoi by artisans following traditional methods of hand loom manufacture. It has supreme quality and authenticity. The raw silk is lightly spun retaining its texture and then loosely woven to give a soft sheen. The unique character of the scarf is defined by the combination of the charming uneven texture of the raw silk and the traditional vibrant colours of Vietnam which are hand tinted. The initial appearance resembles linen and the irregularities in the weave are characteristic of the charm of this scarf. Silk is one of the strongest fibres available and this scarf will still look as good or even better in the years to come, no matter how much wear it has. This stunning unisex scarf measures 40 cm x 175cm. Your scarf is supplied with FREE gift-wrap in attractive ivory tissue and presentational frosted bag along with a FREE message service. Your scarf can be hand or machine washed at 40 degrees. Dry in fresh air. Use a medium hot iron or plait the fabric while damp to produce a crinkle effect when dry.
