TURQUOISE, COTTON BLEND CHEICHE - ASTRANCE

This scarf’s design is inspired by a floral motif. Meant to evoke the freshness of spring, rows of grasses and flowers intertwine throughout the cheiche to form friezes and a few stripes arrange everything into a field of flowers. The colors chosen are soft and spring-like: turquoise, violet, and khaki.

This cheiche is meant to be worn in spring and summer over dresses or small light jackets in shades of pink, navy, or khaki. It is be perfect to add a touch of elegance to a casual chic look. A perfect gift for Mother’s Day or a birthday.

To wash a cotton-based scarf, we recommend hand washing. Iron on low heat with steam to maintain all the natural properties of the fibers that make up this scarf. While it cannot be put in the dryer, you may take it in for dry cleaning.

The weaving method used to make this scarf, known as the Jacquard method, involves the interweaving of a rayon warp thread with a cotton and silk weft thread, using a specific pattern. In order to do this, the Fabrique d’Écharpe weaving atelier uses Jacquard looms. The Jacquard loom was developed by Lyon-native Joseph Marie Jacquard in 1801, who created the first mechanical system that could be programmed with perforated cards to create a design by interweaving different colored threads. Thanks to the artisan weaving knowledge transmitted to us from generation to generation since 1880, today we have electronically controlled looms that allow for the scarf to be produced with impeccable quality all while respecting the purest methods of traditional Lyon Jacquard weaving.
