Vintage Silk Shibori Scarf - Japanese Kimono Obiage, Pearly White with Citrus Colors H1818
This is a traditional scarf called obiage which is worn under a Japanese obi
I found that it makes a fantastic neck scarf! Light weight with colorful shibori dyed silk jacquard and a soft touch.
The edges are pearly white, almost pale yellow, the dyed areas are orange, lime green and gold.
