Thai Silk Scarf

Cherry red, puckered into a thousand little diamonds.

This scarf is from Thailand, and is contemporary. It is silk. Silk takes dye deeply, which gives hand-woven scarves their saturated, slightly iridescent tones. Saturated crimson ground gathered into tight diamond-shaped pleats across the whole surface. Pale pink threads fringe the left side and bottom edge. The cloth is bunched and ruffled at the corner. It measures 78 by 24 inches.

Pleated like it meant every single pinch.
