shawls for dresses

A palette of black, grey and white hues transports us to those classic times when sophistication was a must-have. Inspired by luxurious trends, Peruvian artisans Raquel and Gregor put their traditional loom to work and craft this dapper baby alpaca blend shawl featuring a striped pattern. As the final touch, graceful fringes dangle from the garment for a refined look.

Chevron accents in a palette of periwinkle, iris, grey and celadon recreate the vigorous energy of the sea, forming a stunning garment you will wear anywhere. Crafted by Indian artisans and presented by Sandeep Malhotra, this cotton shawl is crafted with traditional techniques that allow it to have a beautiful drape, completed with little fringes on the ends.

Exuding majesty, intricate nature-inspired designs of slate and buff decorate this regal silk shawl from Bali. The motifs are applied using the batik method, where a wax resist is stamped onto the silk before it is submerged in colourful dye. Presented as part of Melati's Collection in Bali, this accessory arrives in a wood box accented with linen and suede.

For wrinkles, the artisan recommends ironing the scarf at a low temperature without water. Spray the fringe with water and gently brush it with a comb to remove wrinkles. Let it air dry.
