Camel is one of those colours that sorts out a wardrobe, and on the Reyes shawl it looks especially good. It’s a warm tone, halfway between beige and brown, that pairs with earth shades, burgundy, bottle green or black without much thought. It’s embroidered by hand with beads and matching rhinestones, and finished with handmade fringe. It works as a flamenco shawl or as an evening wrap for a wedding or an event.<\/p>\n
While cool shades can be trickier to place, camel fits into almost any seasonal look. Over an autumn guest dress, it lifts the outfit with a warm, elegant feel; over a flamenco costume, it brings a colour you see less than the usual black or red. If you’re after a beaded wrap that isn’t the same as everyone else’s, this one stands out through its colour.<\/p>\n
The clever thing about the Reyes is that it changes register depending on how you wear it. Crossed over the shoulders with a costume, it’s a flamenco shawl with movement thanks to the fringe. Draped over a plain dress, it becomes an evening wrap for a daytime wedding or a dinner. One piece, two uses, available all year round.<\/p>\n
It measures around 135 x 53 cm, with fringe of about 16 cm. The beadwork and rhinestones are hand-sewn, piece by piece, and the fringe is handmade. You feel it in the touch and the drape: this isn’t a light throwaway wrap, it’s a piece made to last for years.<\/p>\n
What colours does camel go with?<\/strong> It’s a very easy warm neutral: it works with brown, earth tones, burgundy, bottle green, mustard and also black. For an autumn wedding guest it’s a safe bet.<\/p>\n Can I use it for both flamenco and parties?<\/strong> Yes. The same shawl works over a flamenco costume and as a wrap over a wedding or event dress.<\/p>\n
