About This Piece

In Eastern philosophy, an Avatar is an incarnation that teaches how to evolve virtues of the past into the present. The Pure Upcycled Silk Avatar Collection is made from vintage pure silk saris, chosen and worn by women in the past to celebrate their lives.

If you look very closely, you will see that the silks in this collection show some of the character of their previous incarnations through the appliqués that have been lovingly applied to bring new life to the fabric. This piece is a reminder that we are part of a collective journey to which we all add a little something.

About This Style

These sustainable, pure silk boxy tops are versatile and come in countless colors and prints. They look great when paired with a longer tank top and high-waisted pants, or beneath a coordinating kimono-sleeved duster, short kimono-sleeved jacket, or silk poncho. These pieces are one size, best fitting sizes 2-12, but please consult the product description for exact measurements.

This style suits everyone as there is lots of room around the tummy, but please note that the style is cropped and lands above the hips.

CARING FOR PATCHED SILK:

Wash clothing separately in cold water by hand or in a net bag on delicate using mild detergent. Hang dry. Steam iron if desired.

If a patch seems to be lifting at the edges, it can easily be re-attached.

• Place a piece of white cotton fabric on the ironing board (in case the glue from the patch seeps through the fabric onto your ironing board.).
• Place the silk fabric with the area to be patched in a single layer on the white cotton.
• Place the patch over the fabric flaw on the silk fabric.
• Cover the silk fabric and the patch with a presscloth - a thin layer of cotton fabric.
• Press the patch on firmly through the presscloth with the iron temperature set to high. Repeat as necessary.
• Allow the patch to cool before moving the silk fabric off the ironing board.
