Chiffon with organza border colour choices



































































Colours: Orange Juice, Turquoise, Fuchsia, Dark Aqua, Mid Grey, Blush Red, Shaded Turquoise to Rose Pink



When I was considering which of our stock to feature on our colour blocking feature, these chiffon shawls stood out. We've never had them online before and it will be interesting to see your reaction to them. They could become one of our classics, just as the ultra simple and wearable large shaded chiffons.


Very much a 'sari' style, the long edges are piped with organza; the two ends have a more substantial organza seal on both sides of the shawl. The organza is tonal and has an irridescence that adds to the wow factor of the piece.
