Color: white, blue, green, brown, light red

Style: large square

Details: Oversized hibiscus flowers in white, blue, brow, green and light red on a white background. Based on what I read from her career it seems like this could have been designed in the 30s, before the war. It is a beautiful scarf that has survived the years well. Tag reads 'Glentex, 100% silk, hand rolled, Made in Japan'

Fabric Type: Silk

Handmade?: Yes

Flaws: There are a couple of barely visible pin holes and one small stain you can see in Picture 3, in the top petal of the large flower on the bottom, just to the left of the purple splotch. The tag is also coming loose and if you want I will reattach it with white thread after purchasing.

Dimensions:
31"x31"
78.5x78.5cm
Dimensions are approximate.

Wash and dry gentle. Pre-soak stains. Do not use bleach.
Iron on cotton, silk or nylon settings depending on fabric type.

All of our linens are purchased during our thriftiqueing adventures because we love the color or designs and we want to share them with you. Some of them might be vintage. Fabrics are very hard to date and we are not experts. We will try to give you as much information as we can find on the prints.

We believe that you should purchase something because you love it NOT just because it is old or 'worth' something. Bring these into your homes and use them for every day or special occasions.

When you purchase vintage, especially things used in the kitchen, they tend to come with stains, rips, tears or seams pulling apart from use. It shows that the item was used and loved. If handmade just imagine the backstory of how it came into existence and wear with pride of the craftsmanship and the hands that worked to put it together.

All the linens we find are washed, ironed and have had any repairs made before selling. Your apron or scarf will come folded and may become wrinkled or creased again, just iron and wear!
