If you’re only going to own one shawl, make it black. The Abril model in black is every flamenca’s essential: it goes with absolutely any costume, from plain to printed, and never dates. Embroidered and latticed by hand, with silk borl\u00f3n fringe, it’s the kind of piece that carries over from one season to the next without ever tiring.<\/p>\n
There’s no costume colour that black doesn’t suit. That’s why it’s the first one beginners buy and the one that always comes back to the hanger whatever happens. Over a polka-dot costume, a plain coloured one or a printed one, the black Abril adds elegance without arguing with anything. And if at some point you want it away from the fair, it also works as an evening wrap over a dress.<\/p>\n
It measures around 126 cm long, 50 cm wide and 17 cm of silk borl\u00f3n fringe. Everything is hand-sewn: the embroidery, the lattice and the fringe. That means there can be tiny differences in the pattern from one piece to another compared with the photo, which is a sign it’s genuinely handmade, not factory-made. It has body, a good drape and that finish you notice the moment you touch it.<\/p>\n
What costumes does black go with?<\/strong> All of them. Plain, polka-dot, printed or coloured, black always fits. It’s the most versatile shawl you can have.<\/p>\n It arrived creased, what do I do?<\/strong> Those are packaging creases. Hang it and it smooths out on its own, or iron it very gently and it’s as good as new.<\/p>\n Is it identical to the photo?<\/strong> Almost. Being embroidered by hand, the pattern may vary slightly from one piece to another. That small difference is what makes it unique.<\/p>\n
