| Description | An unusual striped cotton fabric from Sweden is used for this stole, which is lined with dull gold poplin. The fabric is enriched with cable stitching worked on the domestic sewing machine using Lurex thread, soft black embroidery cotton and cotton à broder. Stitched points are inserted in the lining to give further interest, and these echo the pointed border design. |
