I love a little surprise every now and then (the good kind) and Francis from Shibui Silk is best kind of surprise. This easy piece, knit in textural Heichi, looks like a well-designed simple tee from the front, but when you turn around, the wrapped and curvy back opening sets Francis apart from the crowd.

Olga once again shows her innovation and design savvy, creating a design that is worked horizontally, in a single piece, using a maximum of 8 skeins of 100% silk Heichi. She chose the ocean blue Canal for her design; as you can see, it works great with denim. Any of our 5 (FIVE!) new colors of Heichi.....Chestnut, Hydrant, Spore, Caffeine, or Sidewalk would be wonderful options as well.

Here's another little surprise from Francis; she's completely reversible. Turn it around for a completely different look, layered over a tee or even a simply shaped dress.

And, now...your Shibui Silk countdown update.....proofs back from the printer; they look amazing! We're on schedule for the January 1 release, so there's one more reason to celebrate the New Year!
