Cham-Pa Silk Shawls

Hanoi is acknowledged to produce some of the finest silk products in the world and has been producing outstanding premium quality silk for centuries, dating from the ancient Cham-Pa dynasty of 7th century Vietnam. Our Cham-Pa Silk Weave Shawl is made in Hanoi by artisans still using hand looms and following traditional methods of manufacture.

The hand-spun silk, is still woven on hand looms using two different but complementary shades of thread. The result is a very elegant and versatile, authentic, reversible shawl which has a glossy sheen on both sides. The character of the shawl is defined by the combination of the uneven texture of some silk threads, the glossy finish and the traditional hand-tinted colours of Vietnam. With continued wear the texture of the shawl softens and continues to be enhanced by use and age.

Silk is one of the strongest fibres available and this shawl will still look as good or even better in the years to come, no matter how much wear it has. Our shawls measure some 170cm x 85cm.
