Large Square silk scarf the Rich Woman preserves the luxury of a purple with gold and multicolored floral embroidery wedding dress of a rich Albanian bride

Rich Women in Albania used to keep their wedding dresses embroidered with gold and multicolored flowers for all special events happening in their life. To get such a dress made, the bride's family had to wait 3-4 years. So high was demand for this craft and so few craftsmen could do it. Yet, Albanian masters never were surpassed in this art and supplied Europe and Balkans from the 12th century till the beginning of the 20th century with luxurious Byzantine style embroidery.

This art has died... Nobody can do it anymore, but in different collections and museums the dresses keep striking us with their beauty, confirming that "a thing of beauty is joy forever".

I designed the RIch Woman scarf from a photo of one of these dresses. So, each element of the printed floral pattern of my scarf reflects the real texture and colors of the original. Of course I organized all the elements in my own composition. All together the scarf became a modern and timeless women's accessory, which also can be passed as a family treasure from mother to daughter again and again. It is made of the highest quality natural silk satin and finished by a hand roll.

For me it was important to share the history behind the scarf, and I wrote my story about it, which is printed on the back of triQita signature packaging coming together with the scarf. All who like art, applied art, craftsmanship, interested in the history of fashion, love making unique gifts, care about saving the beauty and learning their roots are the people who, I believe, will appreciate an opportunity to enter the world of luxury.

* BENEFITS
The real silk Silk satin fabric is a very special type of satin weave and is made only of silk. It both looks and feels incredibly luxurious and doesn’t cling, attract static electricity, or get hot like synthetic materials do. Breathable, lightweight and touchably soft — silk satin feels as good as it looks.
Cooling in Summer and warming up in Winter

* CARE: silk is the strongest natural fiber, but a silk scarf is a tender piece of art. It will serve you forever if you: only hand wash it in cool water with soft shampoo, don’t rub it, dry it by wrapping in a towel, iron while it is wet with a low temperature marked for silk.
***Pay a special attention to the hand rolled edges! Only the real silk scarves, including ours, have edges finished by hand in a traditional way. They are made by skilled seamstresses and indicate one of the luxury qualities of a scarf. It is important when you iron the scarf, do not flat down the hand rolled edges, but leave them embossed.
*Keep your silk scarf clean, flat and not tied when not in use, and it will keep its beauty and keep you happy for many years to come.

* WHY TO CHOOSE triQita scarves for your scarf collection, or your gifts? Because in addition of being luxury designer scarves they also have universal cultural value linking us to the cultural heritage of the world and our human roots.
* triQita scarves convey and give a new life to the beauty of traditional, tribal and folk art, historical monuments and events, natural wonders. The names of our scarves, if you google them, will take you to many cultural trips through the parts of the world that we have lived, or traveled so far. You may find them in the British Museum in London and the Natural History Museum in Cambridge.
* BEHIND THE SCENE : When we, triQita, discover often hidden, damaged, worn out cultural treasures, we make their digital restoration and reimagine them into exclusive original beautiful scarves and ties. We dress them with unique packaging. We wright for them interesting stories, which are always a result of our ethnographic and historical research, which gives you a pleasure to read and to tell the stories behind the scarves. See here how we do it: https://www.etsy.com/shop/triQitaUniqueScarves?

triQita scarves stay always in fashion because they combine a beauty of a form with a beauty of their mission - to let us enjoy the art that we have inherited from the past, to learn and to tell it's story. It has been proven that beauty never goes out of fashion. It might go out of sight, but our mission is to bring it back to focus.

* EVERY TIME WHEN YOU GET A COMPLIMENT ON YOUR SCARF, tell its story taking people to a ride through times, cultures and countries, and you will make the world a better place to live.

* Due to the nature of the digital printing process, the design on the back side of the scarf will be a bit pale compared to the bright colors of the front side. When you fold a square scarf the bright side is always the one that is visible. At the same time you can wear the scarf inside out as more color subdued option.

A slight difference in size of a scarf is due to a nature of the pure silk fabric, digital technology of printing and postprinting treatment and hand rolled finishing of the scarves. Thanks to this post printing treatment my scarves do not shrink after you wash them. But remember that you always use only cool water to wash natural silk. Thanks to the hand rolled and seven ages my scarves gain one of the luxury qualities of the classic silk scarves.

If you like a design of any of my scarves, but wish to have a different size, or shape of it, please convo me. It will be my pleasure to make it for you only (custom order)

Wash a silk scarf in lukewarm water and a shampoo. Do not use an alkaline shampoo or one which contains ingredients such as wax, petroleum, or their derivatives
Rinse in clear, cool water until all the soap is gone.
Fill the sink again and add a tablespoon of white vinegar to the final rinse. Vinegar neutralises any remaining soap, and completely restores the silk's natural sheen
Give the fabric a final rinse in clear, cool water to remove the vinegar smell.
Roll up in a towel to remove moisture
Dry flat on a towel or on a padded hanger. Never use a dryer to dry silk.
Iron with a low-medium temperature iron while still slightly damp
Always hand wash silk garments immediately if they become stained
Dry clean only when it becomes soiled

Each of the triQita unique scarves has its own unique gift packaging with an artistic image of the scarf, the name of the scarf and the story of the scarf printed on it. I design the packaging with an idea to make it easy to carry, easy to send by mail, keep the scarf in perfect shape while traveling, and look unforgettable and outstanding. My meaningful scarves don't require any additional gift wrapping. By your request I can put a card of my choice with your text on it, written by my hand. If you wish to have a custom text on my packaging, it is also possible, but costly. Convo me for custom packaging details. My scarves from the Scarves for Zodiac Lovers collection have cards inside of the packaging
