Description

This scarf features nine Koi carp, printed onto sheer Italian silk chiffon.

8 of the Koi on the scarf are red-and-white Kohaku, a classic breed and probably the most popular of all koi (some champion Kohaku are traded for millions of yen!). The 9th fish is black, this number and combination of koi is believed to be especially auspicious.

When worn this scarf shows a striking pattern of grey, coral red and off white.

The lightweight silk chiffon is ideal for transitional temperatures. This size can also be worn as a statement piece on a simple neutral dress.

140 x 140cm, can be worn wrapped around or long and floating.

Care: Dry clean.Can also be steamed to refresh and remove creases.

The scarf print is based on a monochrome indian ink drawing. You can read more about the inspiration and see work in progress imagesĀ here.

Care

Dry clean.
Silk and wool are protein fibres which naturally repel dirt and hardly take on any smells, so they don't need to be cleaned often.
Steaming the scarf works wonders – it removes all wrinkles and also 'desinfects' it (removing potential smells and killing microorganisms), and it usually ends up looking like fresh from the cleaners. For this you can use a garment steamer or simply hold it approximately 2ft / 70cm over a boiling kettle for a few seconds (don't scold yourself in the process :) If it needs a clean, dry cleaning is recommended (lukewarm water and mild shampoo or silk/wool detergent would not damage the print, but for the feel of the silk or wool it's still better and safer to dry clean it).

Delivery and returns

Free delivery worldwide. Custom fees may apply, depending on your country's legislation.
You can return or exchange your scarf in the first 14 days after you receive it. The full terms are on the bottom right of the page.
