| The following are amazing silks that I managed to find in
various places all over central India on my trip there in Nov/Dec. All are either hand woven, hand block
printed or otherwaise handworked. Many
use natural vegetable dues that do not bleed or stain. Please note that all handwork has natural
flaws, so expect to find some small defects in pattern or color, but you will
love these! All in perfect scale for
dolly haute couture. Please phone
(1-800-205-8739) or email (mmtn@earthlink.net) your orders as the amounts in
stock are strictly limited to what you see here. |
