For all the purple lovers, this is a treat!  It's another beautiful Hokkoh cotton Shantung.   The small-scale white flowers are delicately adorned with moments of pale pink and coral, with dainty sage green foliage.  The flowers and leaves are then outlined with a stunning metallic gold.  The gold against the rich purple is extraordinary.  

The cloth is a gorgeous shantung cotton, with the texture coming from the different sized yarns. The weight is 170gsm, and it's perfect for shirts, blouses, dresses, pinafores, pants, skirts that have a bit of structure.

Cloth Care:

Delicate Cycle; 30 Degrees, Line Dry. Wash colours separately. The finished garment will last longer and look better if it is shaken out when wet and placed on a hanger to dry. To prevent fading, wash inside out and dry in the shade. Cotton needs a warm to hot iron. Conduct a spot test. Cotton is dry cleanable.
