Drawing inspiration from the sumptuous cashmere shawls that captivated Second Empire society, La paiva presents a sophisticated composition of broad stripes executed through three distinctly textured techniques. Velvet appliqué creates dimensional depth alongside delicate embroidery, whilst printed elements complete this layered approach. The design balances the opulence of traditional shawl craftsmanship with contemporary technical refinement, resulting in a textile of considerable visual richness and tactile interest.
