THIS SILK IS A REAL TREASURE: THE LAST VESTIGE OF THE MAJOR SILK PRODUCTION FROM THE SPANISH PROVINCES OF MURCIA AND VALENCIA, PRIOR TO MASS IMPORTS FROM CHINA.
IT IS PRECIOUS AND I USE IT SPARINGLY, BECAUSE I'VE NEVER FOUND ANYTHING ELSE QUITE LIKE IT. PAINTING ON IT PRODUCES EXTRAORDINARY IRIDESCENT HIGHLIGHTS AND COLOR GRADATIONS. IT DRAPES BEAUTIFULLY AND IS ALSO LIGHT, SO IT FLOWS ELEGANTLY WHEN WORN.
