Gauze Voile Stole with Indian Embroidered Lace Trim - Khaki

This stole exudes an exotic allure, crafted from exceptionally soft fabric dyed using the traditional "Arakaki-zome" technique. This method, passed down since the Edo period, involves meticulously dyeing small batches of fabric in small kettles over extended periods, resulting in a wonderfully gentle texture. The fabric is further adorned with exquisite Indian embroidered ribbon. Measuring approximately 150cm, our "regular size" is designed to drape elegantly, with the ends falling just below the chest when wrapped once around the neck. Our gauze voile, a lightly sheer and delicate material, offers a pleasant feel against the skin that makes it suitable for year-round wear. Its unique texture, distinct from double gauze, provides a beautiful tactile experience. The "Arakaki-zome" dyeing process, being done in small batches, results in subtle variations in color from one kettle to the next. The extended dyeing time gently works the fabric, allowing the fibers to soften as the core of the threads relaxes. This process naturally creates subtle wrinkles, lending the material an effortlessly natural aesthetic. We've curated a palette of muted colors that complement the inherent charm of the cotton's natural flecks and their skin-friendly tones. The Indian embroidered ribbons have been carefully selected to harmonize with the fabric's colors. Embrace the beauty of this unique, one-of-a-kind encounter. The Indian embroidered ribbon features a tulle base with a scalloped lace design. While the edges are left raw, the material is designed to minimize fraying. Please note that threads may emerge from the embroidery due to snagging, washing, or friction during use. If this occurs, simply trim the threads rather than pulling them. As this is an imported item, slight variations in pattern alignment may be present.
