Bessie Scarf | Naturally Dyed Silk

from $82.00

A little silk scarf for one’s neck. I dye each silk scarf using a variety of natural materials such as plants, and sometimes insects. Many of the plants I forage, some I buy, and others come from collecting kitchen scraps. 

  • Species: Pomegranate, senna, and hibiscus

  • Size: 21×21 inches

  • Material: 100% silk

  • Color Profile: Mustard yellow, violet, and peach.

  • Care card withe the materials I used, the date I finished dyeing, and how to care for your scarf included.

ABOUT SCARF PEARLS 

Each pearl begins as a wooden bead that I either hand-dye or paint (or both!). I seal each pearl with a water-proof acrylic varnish. 

CARE

Always wash your scarf with a gentle pH neutral dish or laundry soap (please no Dr. Bronner’s). Hang your scarf to dry, and lightly iron. Store your scarf out of direct sunlight, preferably in a dark drawer. 

ON NAMES

I named this batch of scarves after my favorite women of the 1920s: flappers, thinkers, and all-around cool women.
