Description
This gorgeous top features the ‘Watiya Tjuta’ design by Mitjili Napurrula. In this design Mitjili depicts her fathers Tjukurrpa, the ceremonial spear straightening in Uwalkari country (Gibson desert region). The Watiya Tjuta (Acacia Trees) are the trees that are used to make these spears. Uwalkari country is abundant with Watiya Tjuta, as well as sand hills and other plants. Mitjili paints the motif of the Watiya Tjuta, carrying on the recurring motif as her mother used to draw in the sand. Her mother passed on this Dreaming to her.
Firstly screen printed by hand by Publisher Textiles and Papers (ensuring the highest quality and longevity), this luscious silk has been lovingly transformed by our ethical business partners The Social Outfit to create this beautiful garment.
100% Silk M/Woven 120 reed Dupion (highest quality weave)
Princess Silk is of the highest quality silks, with 120 reed woven dupion. Dupion fabric is tightly woven with different sized weft and warp threads which gives it a textured appearance and highly-lustrous surface. The fibres are yarn dyed separately and then machine woven to make the fabric. Many colours are yarn dyed woven with different coloured warp and weft threads, giving an iridescent look.
Recommended care instructions: always dry clean for silk dupion. Hand washing the fabric will cause it to lose the crispness of the fabric.
