The story

A silk square from the 1960s, printed in warm oranges, soft yellows, and ivory, with a coral border around the edge. The pattern is loose and painterly, like flowers seen through a window in the rain. The hems are rolled and stitched by hand, which you can feel as a small, firm roll between two fingers. The silk is light and slightly crisp, so it holds a knot well and still falls softly. Tie it at the neck, around the handle of a bag, or over the hair with sunglasses for a drive with the windows down.
