Description This range of stunning 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. The silk scarf is one of those never-out-of-style accessories that always comes in handy, the ultimate chic fashion accessory oozing sophistication and elegance. As a garment worn for practical purposes, it can also provide the wearer with warmth or keep them cool. Exquisite colours and designs make them the ideal finishing touch to your outfit. 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.
