Large-format shawl (60 x 225 centimeters), a single piece, woven in linen and silk and finished with hand-knotted bangs. The linen brings firmness, freshness and a texture of its own, while the silk introduces fluidity, lightness and a subtle sheen that appears according to the light.

The combination of both materials generates a natural balance between structure and movement, resulting in an elegant, serene and profoundly contemporary piece.

Process responsible

At Belategui Regueiro we work with very short series -and many times unique pieces- because we believe in responsible production. This allows us to choose and use only the necessary materials, without accumulating large quantities or generating unnecessary stock. This way we avoid waste and ensure that each piece is woven with intention, time and care.

Care and recommendations

Wash your pieces by hand with neutral soap, without twisting and letting them dry in the shade. In the case of linen, it is better to iron it when it is not yet completely dry and, in the case of silk, it is sufficient to rest the iron on it without unloading its weight.

Maintenance

Always store your pieces stretched or folded gently, avoiding prolonged weight on hangers so that they do not become deformed. Airing them from time to time – without exposing them to direct sunlight – helps to keep their fibers in good condition.
We weave with noble and sensitive materials: a simple and regular care will ensure that each piece will accompany you for many years.

Environmental note

Made following a production cycle of low environmental impact because we have woven it by hand in one of the artisan looms that we have in our workshop in Cambre (A Coruña). We have finished the fringe by hand knotting it, we have washed it by hand with neutral soap, air dried it and the only electricity we have consumed in its creation process has been the one necessary to illuminate the workshop and for the final ironing.

As the soap we use in the washing process is of vegetable origin, we use the water left over from this process to control aphids on the plants in our vegetable garden. A simple way to close the cycle and reduce waste.

Repair and service life.

If your part needs a small adjustment or repair over time, you can write to us. We prefer to accompany you throughout its life than to replace it with another one.
