STORY: Delicate Cast Iron Lacework. After the Gold rush in the 1850's there was a building boom and many developers embraced 'Victorian Style' cast iron lacework to decorate gates, fences, awnings and verandahs. In the U.K. the iron was melted for the War effort, however in Australia many examples of Cast Iron Lacework still remain and are protected by the National Trust, The Star Hotel in Nerrandera is an excellent example having elaborate cast iron balustrades. The unique pattern of the lacework and dual colouring gives this scarf a classic look.

THE SILK STORY: Silk is known as the Queen of fabrics: Natural sheen that never diminishes/ soft, light and luxurious / Cool in Summer – Warm in Winter/ Absorbing perspiration yet letting skin breathe/ Promoting skin rejuvenation/ Hypoallergenic/ Eco-Friendly/ Biodegradable/ Easily Washed/ great tensile strength and durability. Confucius and Chinese legend narrate that around 3000BC the 14 year old Empress Leizu, wife of the Yellow Emperor, discovered Silk when a cocoon fell into her tea cup. She then developed the art of raising silk worms (Sericulture) and became known as the Goddess of Silk in Chinese Mythology. Being an exquisite, precious fibre, for many millennia, it was one of the most zealously guarded secrets in history. \n \n
