'a whisper in the wind' mixed silks tunic with pocket
From the "Weightless Wonders" collection, featuring totally reworked antique and vintage scarves and graphic silk panels, this tunic/blouse is truly wonderful, from the different textures, to vibrant colors, a fun pocket and plush neckline with a button. Made out of 4 vintage silk scarves, it includes one from Japan featuring a traditional shibori technique (the front panel) and one from a French museum on a theme of the famous irises painting by Van Gogh. All of the pieces has been reworked of course and don't have either the original colors or even some of the patterns, and the resulting piece makes up an organic art-to-wear blouse that you will enjoy in many different ways. Very lightweight, it is perfect for travel and for warmer months. Product code: M8015

Very brief cold water hand wash, a few drops of mild detergent, always separately, spin in washer and dry on medium, or air dry and finish in dryer to soften. Also can be dry cleaned by mild methods, or dry cleaned in dryer at home with a store-bought kit. Do not use stain removers, spot treaters or bleach pens. Contact us for any advice, if needed.
All garments arrive to you freshly cleaned, unlike regular store-bought items, and are ready to wear.
Dry-cleaning is ok on most items but only if gentle methods are used and the cleaners are familiar with cleaning hand-painted delicate fabrics.
To freshen up any item that doesn’t need deep cleaning simply mist it with a water spray and put in the dryer on medium heat for about 15 min.
All garments can be hand washed. Wash each item separately, cold water only, minimal amount of detergent, and as briefly as possible, no soaking. The wash can be followed by a spin in the washer and dried on medium heat until dry. Knits should be hung-dried and when dry, finished in the dryer for a few minutes to soften.
Hand-pressing may be necessary after the wash and dry to straighten out the seams and edges which tend to pucker or curl on natural fabrics.
Some hand-dyed items may leak a bit of color during the washing, that is normal and will not affect the item. Using liquid softener during the wash will minimize any color leaking.
For more tips and details please refer to the cleaning instructions card included with your package.
