22" x 85" hand-painted, hand-pleated shibori scarf. Shibori is an ancient Japanese pleating technique. Traditionally Shibori was used to create patterns on the fabric. Izabela uses this process to transform her handpainted silk shawls into sculptural objects. Full of pleats, from the smallest, "barely there" creases to impressive folds. Strikingly dynamic and energetic they dance with every step you take. They are full of life with unexpected twists and endless flowing aspects. Silk has a very good memory, shawls will retain the pleats as long as they are not exposed to moisture. They should be DRY CLEANED only and stored in dry place rounded loosely. In the event of being caught in the rain wearing your favorite Alarte shibori shawl or any other unexpected event that will relax the pleats, just contact us. We will be happy to repleat it for you with no extra charge except shipping costs.
