Description

Vibrant red meets rich blue. Intricate patterns, delicate embroidery and wonderfully soft silk make this stole a truly special piece to treasure.

Traditional Kantha embroidery from Bengal gives the fabric its distinctive texture. Fine, closely spaced stitches create beautiful patterns, bringing the silk to life with a rich texture and a character all its own.

Generously sized, this stole can be casually draped over your shoulders, elegantly wrapped or worn as a cosy scarf. A gorgeous splash of colour that brightens up simple outfits and adds a personal touch to any look.

A beautiful piece of Bengali craftsmanship, full of colour, heritage and joie de vivre.

About the designer

Meet Farah Khan

More than twenty years ago, Farah fell in love with the extraordinary beauty of Kantha embroidery, a centuries old craft from Bengal in which every single stitch is made by hand. With time, patience and skill, simple fabrics are transformed into unique pieces. What began as a fascination soon became something close to Farah’s heart: keeping this beautiful craft alive while creating new opportunities and perspectives for the women who practise it. No two pieces are ever the same. And that is exactly what makes them so special. Every stitch tells a story. Every pattern carries a piece of tradition. And every piece bears the hand, and a little of the heart, of the woman who made it.
