ERI SILK HANDWOVEN STOLE.

MADE BY 7WEAVES IN INDIA. HANDWOVEN ERI SILK, DESIGNED BY JAN-JAN VAN ESSCHE AT THE 7WEAVES STUDIO IN THE TROPICAL ASSAM VALLEYS. THE DROP SPUN SILK IS FIRST DYED WITH MYROBALAN AND THEN DIP DYED IN FERMENTED JAGGERY TO ARRIVE AT A NUANCED BLACK EXPANSIVE, HINTING AT SHADES FROM STONY MAUVE TO LILAC PINK. THE YELLOW GREEN COLOUR, ATTAINED THROUGH ONION SKIN DYE, COACTS WITH THE ERI TO CREATE A METALLIC GLOW. THE FABRIC’S HANDSPUN TEXTURE AND NATURAL COLOURS COME TOGETHER IN A MINERAL RICH SURFACE WHICH WILL EVOLVE AND SOFTEN AS THE FABRIC AGES.
