Description
Our Cerceta Silk Velvet Shawl, part of the Classic Collection, is defined by its elongated silhouette, which creates an elegant, fluid drape and offers multiple styling possibilities. Both sides are hand-painted: one in silk velvet and the other in Satin Georgette silk, resulting in a unique interplay of colour, movement and texture.
Silk velvet provides natural warmth and exceptional softness, adapting to your body temperature without feeling heavy. Its lightness and subtle iridescence add depth, giving the piece a distinctive visual richness.
Each shawl is a one-of-a-kind creation. Starting from a blank fabric, the entire process —painting, steam-setting, finishing and ironing— is carried out meticulously by hand in the workshop of Margaret de Arcos in Seville, reflecting true Spanish artisanal craftsmanship.

My visit to Margaret de Arcos’ workshop: It was my friend Rocío, a Sevillian with whom I share experiences in the Netherlands, who first introduced me to this artisan brand. After speaking with Ángelo, their commercial director, I visited their beautiful workshop in the heart of Seville. The moment I stepped inside, I was surrounded by creativity, colour and a calm artistic energy.
Seeing Camila paint each piece by hand allowed me to appreciate the skill, precision and beauty behind silk craftsmanship. We shared a relaxed conversation over coffee. It was inspiring to hear firsthand about the brand’s history and learn about their new projects. I returned home carrying with me the Limonero fan and foulard, whose vibrant colours reming me of that visit.

The advice of Belma Craft & Art
The key is for you to feel at ease. You might want to drape it loosely around your neck allowing the fabric to cascade down your back, you can wrap it snugly around your arms and shoulders to ward off the cold, or secure it with a pin at the front for extra comfort. Personalize it and experience the radiance!
