Description

Monochrome sheer oversized chiffon scarf featuring a variation of the Sleeping Dogs print. The print has an emphasis on texture and the dogs themselves are not prominent, when worn they disappear in layers of delicate line drawing.

The chiffon silk is very lightweight and transparent, and when layered the texture of the drawing intersects into an intricate pattern whilst the silk appears more opaque. Since the fabric has almost no bulk at all, it can also be worn as a skinny long scarf around the neck. Depending on the combination it has a rocknroll edge or adds understated elegance.

You can read about the inspiration of the artwork and see images of work in progress 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.
