abstract poppy on black silk tunic or dress
This is a most gorgeous piece of fabric from many years ago - Japanese origin from around mid-century, featuring abstract poppy print on black. The fabric inspired this piece, which is patchwork of varying silk black pieces, partially hand-painted, featuring asymmetrical bottom, fluid construction, light, pleasant weight and striking contrast of red and black. Wear it as a tunic or as a dress, or layered over skirts or dresses - guaranteed to be noticed no matter how you wear it! Product code: G1829

Hand wash.
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.
