Abril camel flamenco shawl, embroidered by hand
The Abril model in camel is for anyone after a soft, luminous flamenco shawl, away from the usual strong colours. Camel lights up the costume without shouting, with a calm, elegant feel that you rarely see at the fair. It’s embroidered and latticed by hand, with silk borlón fringe, a handmade piece with no two alike.
A camel that brightens the costume
It’s a light, golden tone that lifts the outfit, especially by day. It looks lovely over costumes in ecru, off-white, green or earth tones, and makes a pretty, understated contrast over a dark one. For a morning fair or a pilgrimage, camel has exactly the glow the sun calls for. If you want it away from flamenco, it also works as an evening wrap over a dress.
Handmade, piece by piece
About 126 cm long, 50 cm wide and 17 cm of silk borlón fringe. The embroidery, the lattice and the fringe are made by hand, which is why the pattern or a shade may vary a little from the photo from one piece to another. It isn’t a flaw, it’s the signature of handcraft. It has body and a lovely drape, and camel looks especially good in the light.
Frequently asked questions
Is it a day or an evening colour? Camel shows best by day, in natural light, so it’s ideal for a morning fair or a pilgrimage, though it works at night too.
Which costumes does it suit best? Over ecru, off-white, green and earth tones it’s wonderful, and over dark costumes it makes a soft, elegant contrast.
Will it arrive creased? It may arrive with packaging creases. Hang it and it smooths out under its weight, or give it a very gentle iron.
Why isn’t it exactly like the photo? Because it’s embroidered by hand. That small variation in shade or pattern is what makes yours unique. You’ll find more designs in flamenco shawls.
