Vintage Sari Silk in Raspberry Plum Plaid, 1 Metre x 2 Metre Textile Piece

Vintage Silk Sari Piece with Checks — 2 Metre Continuous Piece

A beautiful vintage silk sari piece featuring an oversized plaid/check pattern in rich raspberry pink, plum and dusky purple.

The large-scale checks have a wonderfully slightly muted, vintage quality, while the silk gives the fabric a soft drape and subtle sheen. The colour combination is particularly striking — somewhere between raspberry, berry pink, wine and purple.

This is a single 2 metre continuous piece, approximately 1 metre wide, making it a useful size for both sewing and textile projects.
