brown red checkThis distinctive scarf is hand made from the silk of a vintage Japanese kimono.

It is a rinzu silk with a varying grid-like pattern into which hand painted squares have been made, using both structure and flow. Geometric patterns are popular in all seasons of kimono.

The rich brown of this scarf is further emphasised by the red highlights. The colour brown denotes the Earth, strength and durability and is highly valued. The word cha or tea also has its roots in the words that denote different shades of brown in Japanese language.

The silk fringe is also vintage and has been hand dyed and knotted to match.
