BZDesign's shawls are made primarily with "peace" silk, which is obtained using a humane process that allows the silkmoths to emerge from their cocoons and live out their full life cycle. Most "peace" silk produces fabric with a gentle drape and noticeably softer texture than conventional silk.
The simplicity of pattern and warm earth-toned palette of these long, elegant shawls evoke a sense of calm.
Each handmade textile in the entire BZDesign line is unique. Barbara Zaretsky, the artist, incorporates organic and sustainable materials in her line of home furnishings and wearable accessories. All shawls are made with natural fibers and hand dyed twice with plant dyes, often incorporating a clamp-resist technique to create pattern, then block printed with textile paints. Choose from a selection of rich, vibrant colors and patterns.
