Copper Gardens Chirimen Crepe Kimono Silk by the piece 6.5" x 13" #3799

Vintage silk with a pronounced, almost crinkly texture from the deep chirimen crepe weave. Rich copper print with faux shibori, black, deeper copper tones, purples, a bit of indigo and olive. Copper-washed silk chirimen is a bit on the heavy side, very textured from the crepe, dry hand and no shine at all. The back is pure copper; the print barely shows.  Pristine condition silk from a former life as a kimono. Japan.
