Emerald, undiluted. There is something about wearing a single colour this committed — this present — that feels like a quiet act of confidence. The brushstroke technique gives the green its depth: lighter at the edges, richest where the dye pools, alive in every stroke.

Hand-painted in Nha Xa, northern Vietnam — a village that has been working with silk by hand for over 800 years. The brushstroke is applied freely, and the pigment settles into the silk in a way that is never entirely predictable. What you receive is a piece that exists in its current form only once.

100% pure mulberry habotai silk: celebrated for its natural lustre, its extraordinary softness, and the way it drapes with a fluidity that seems to defy its own lightness.
