This hand painted silk scarf is made of a light, translucent silk weave called paj. These oblong silk scarves are painted one at a time with a brush and silk dyes, then hand-rolled and stitched at the edges. These scarves are how we started in the silk business over twenty years ago, and we're still dealing with the same family of silk painters. This design a dragonfly buzzing among lotus leaves. Scarves measure 55" x 16.5"

These silk scarves are created by a family of silk-painters in Suzhou, China, in their own workshop. Each starts as a piece of white silk and is painted, steamed and finished by hand.
