wrap yourself up in silk

when we first laid eyes on these amazing silk vintage one-of-a-kind throws, our fabric loving hearts melted! we wanted all of them! each throw hosts such incredible collections of vibrant colors and patterns hand stitched together. they would make perfect bed spreads, a table cloth, a throw on the sofa, in the patio, for a picnic or our favorite idea is to use them as curtains.

each one of these beauties is unique. no two are alike. so if you have a favorite, keep in mind it is the only one like it! to snatch up your own vintage silk throw go here.
