Silk scarves dyed with persimmon juice
Silk scarves dyed with persimmon juice
At Sangju, a town of three white things (rice, silk cocoon, and dried persimmon), the two specialties, namely silk and persimmon juice, are used together to make the scarves.
These scarves are original pieces since their patterns are all different. Graceful patterns are created by hand, using persimmon juice, over a 4-week process with great care.
Even scarves with the same design turn out to have patterns that exude different charms after the coloration process, depending on weather conditions such as sunshine, winds, and rain. The coloration process is initiated by people and completed by nature.
Not being able to make the same item can be a disadvantage, but it can also be considered an advantage since the scarves are all original pieces.
After years of trial and error, we have found a way to make gentle and beautiful patterns, breaking the conception that the combination of persimmon juice and silk will produce dull patterns.
Currently, our scarves are supplied mainly to companies and government offices to be used as presents, wedding return gifts, etc.
