Cashmere Handwoven Cashmere Silk Stole [Hiiragi-bana 08]

Handwoven Cashmere Silk Stole [Hiiragi-bana *08] Materials: 70% Cashmere, 30% Silk Size: Approx. 57cm x 185cm (excluding 9cm fringe) Weight: Approx. 220g This is an oversized stole made from 100% high-quality Italian-spun cashmere silk yarn. Woven gently by hand using two strands of ultra-fine yarn, it differs from machine-woven products by incorporating air, resulting in a plump, soft texture and an incredibly smooth feel that drapes lightly. Warm ivory forms the warp threads, while a pale, yellowish light green (wakana-iro) serves as the weft, creating a delicate and intricate pattern. The subtle difference in hue between the warp and weft makes it appear almost plain from a distance, but as light hits it, a lustrous pattern emerges, offering a subtly elegant and sophisticated charm. The woven pattern and color distribution are reversed on the front and back, allowing for varied expressions depending on how it is worn. It can be draped as an alternative to outerwear in spring and autumn, worn snugly around the neck like a scarf in winter, and its refined luster also makes it suitable for formal occasions. This light green, reminiscent of the fresh shoots of spring grass, is a perfect accent for a simple yet sophisticated adult wardrobe. Cashmere fibers are characterized by their exceptional fineness and softness compared to other animal hair fibers. Despite being incredibly lightweight, they offer superior warmth and moisture retention. They are also gentle on the skin, making them suitable for those with sensitive skin. The combination of cashmere's characteristic fluffy, smooth texture and silk's elegant luster creates a luxuriously soft and gentle feel, perfect for year-round wear. While made from delicate materials, proper care will deepen its character and allow you to cherish it for years to come. Care instructions for your cashmere stole will be included with your purchase. *Please let us know if you would like gift wrapping; it is available free of charge.
