Name: Silk Velvet Shawl Carmina — Hand-Painted
Price: 210 EUR
Availability: InStock

Description

Our Carmina 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 to feel comfortable. You can drape it loosely around your neck and let the fabric fall softly down your back, wrap it around your arms and shoulders for extra warmth, or secure it with a pin at the front. Make it your own and enjoy its quiet elegance.

This exclusive shawl is handcrafted upon request, with an estimated delivery time of up to 30 days.
