Cherry Sage Dyed / Natural Dye / Domestic Silk / Organza / Large Long Stole

This generously sized, long stole, crafted from feather-light silk organza, has been hand-dyed with cherry sage. While the dyeing process involves thorough washing, leaving no residual scent, cherry sage is a herb known for its clean, refreshing aroma. The dye was extracted from its fresh flowers, leaves, and twigs, and applied through multiple layers of dyeing. The resulting color is a serene yellow, reminiscent of kihadai dye, with a subtle hint of green in the distance. The silk for this stole was woven in Gunma Prefecture, a renowned silk-producing region in Japan. It possesses the characteristic transparency of organza, with a smooth, crisp texture against the skin. When worn draped over one shoulder, the stole reveals a brighter yellow. When folded, the color deepens to a richer hue. Dimensions are approximately 38cm wide by 200cm long (including approximately 10cm tassels), weighing 26g. Its generous size allows for various styling options, from loose wraps to elegant drapes. Drape it on for a touch of effortless style, perfect for protection against air conditioning or UV rays. Silk is a material that excels in insulation and moisture absorption, is naturally flame-retardant, and offers skin protection and repair benefits, along with UV absorption. It gently shields your skin in a natural way. This stole, a gift from nature, is dyed with herbs, using domestically produced silk, a rarity today.

For the first one or two washes, or when lightly soiled (e.g., after sweating), simply rinse with water. The color will gradually stabilize. Mix a very small amount of "neutral detergent" thoroughly in water or lukewarm water. Gently press and wash. Rinse softly twice, gently squeeze out excess water with a towel, and dry in the shade. (Total process: 2-3 minutes). ◎ Please avoid using washing machines, dryers, bleach, or detergents containing bleach. Iron at a medium temperature with a pressing cloth. ◎ Natural dyes can gradually change color due to prolonged exposure to sunlight, citrus juice, sweat, or the passage of time. ◎ If stored folded in a brightly lit area for extended periods, the folded areas may experience sun fading. When not in use, please store in a box or drawer away from light. ◎ For long-term storage of "wool" and "silk products," it is advisable to store them with "desiccants" and unscented "moth repellents" for peace of mind.
