Each creation is adorned with a small, hand-polished and dyed antique-effect brass tag by the designer, along with a dedicated storage pouch. The piece includes gift packaging. ★Care Instructions: Dry clean only. When not in use, store in the dedicated storage pouch. ★Please Note: Brooch not included. ★Design Concept This striking, royal blue night sky is adorned with the subtle sway of white bamboo shadows. Delicate golden threads are scattered throughout, like moonlight, yet even a touch of vibrant red does not diminish its inherent color. The blend of silk and soft cotton, accented with hand-polished red glass beads and lapis lazuli, makes it suitable for all seasons. This piece speaks volumes without uttering a word, exuding a powerful style that would particularly complement fair complexions. Interestingly, upon completion, it evoked a strong sense of national flag imagery – perhaps it will inspire wearers to attend New Year's Day flag-raising ceremonies. ★Care Instructions: Dry clean only. When not in use, store in the dedicated storage pouch.
