Our range of silk scarves are dip dyed by hand so that one half of the width is a different shade, or different colour, to the other half. This gives the scarves their own individual charm and means that although they are not patterned they are not completely plain either.

A Little History Lesson
Silk has been treasured for thousands of years for it’s wonderful and unique properties with the earliest examples of silk found in Neolithic tombs in South East Asia about 8,500 years ago. The means to make a fabric from the raw thread, according to legend, was first developed in what is now modern day China by Empress Leizu in the 27th century BC. Originally silk was reserved only for use by royalty but slowly over the years a strong demand developed, and as this grew, merchants developed markets in other countries and regions. Nowadays, these beautiful scarves can make wonderful gifts for your friends and family.
Silk has many wonderful properties not least of which is its stunning lustrous sheen making it the perfect material for a luxurious silk scarf, or indeed many other garments of attire. Not only does it look gorgeous, it is light weight, soft and has wonderful properties of insulation. If you are looking for a ladies neck scarf silk is a wonderful option. If you are looking for something bigger, such as a pashmina scarf, don't forget to check out that fantastic range also.
A silk scarf will keep you warm and cosy, whether you’re outdoors or in an office with the air-conditioner blowing directly at you.
