About Our Silk Scarves
Tangled Monk's silk scarves carry Preetie Kohli's original hand-drawn artwork, composed as a single uninterrupted drawing and printed edge to edge onto 100% silk. There are two designs, Dusk Lotus and Midnight Paisley, each a 120 x 120cm square with hand-rolled edges, at S$175.
Drawn slowly on paper, then carried onto silk: art to be worn, folded and kept.
The Two Scarves
Dusk Lotus was drawn after a week Preetie spent among Japanese artisans working in kimono art, indigo dyeing and ceramics, where what stayed with her was the thinking more than the technique: subtle colour, simple contrast, botanicals interpreted rather than copied. The lotus opens across a dusk of rose and indigo, fine-line tangles moving outward through the wash.
Midnight Paisley began in the sage green and blue phase that followed the Tangled Tranquility works, drawn as Diwali approached. Fine white linework over a midnight ground, turquoise flecking through, holds many paisleys within one. The motif has always travelled: a buta in ancient Persia and India, renamed in Scotland, and recognised wherever it lands.

Worn, Folded, Kept
A 120cm square is generous enough to drape across the shoulders or knot loosely at the neck, and light enough to fold into a bag for travel. Kept folded in a cool, dry place away from sunlight, perfume and moisture, the silk holds its colour.
The scarves are made in India to Tangled Monk's own artwork and specification, and leave the Joo Chiat studio within 2 business days. See Shipping & Delivery and the Returns & Refund Policy.
