I keep these silk shawl for over a decade.They are handmade brocade silk and each piece is unique.You can't find another piece that looks like one of these.
Local people call this shawl-like a "sabai" or pha biang which mean the long piece of silk draped around woman chest by covering one shoulder while its end popular drops behind the back.
The technic is called preawa.It is also called queen of silk because starts from weaving silk yarn together with brocade in pattern little by little.It is very high skill workmanship.
This weave also has special detail.It is not just a plain weave but it is woven in brocade.Very soft and smooth.
If you look closely at the fabric, you will se , it is queen of silk , beautiful details.It took several weeks to finish one.Some pattern may take 9 months!
You can use it as a shawl , turn it to a wall art , use as a runner , make a vest or cushion covers.
This will be a great gift for someone you care!Someone very difficult to find a perfect gift!
