This stole is inspired by the various works of Vincent Van Gogh.

In the nursing home of Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, a former monastery of the 12th century, Van Gogh painted the irises that lined the alley leading to the cloister. This painting was, as for many artists of this period, influenced by Japanese paintings, ukiyo-e (floating world). Vincent Van Gogh took up this theme of irises, not in the ground like those in the garden of Saint-Rémy, but in very simple vases where the deep blue flowers bloom.

Finish: Hand-rolled hem.
Hand-rolled is a refined hemming technique based on the skills of hand sewing.
The craft of roulotting, once widespread in France, is now disappearing. Only a few well-known brands still practice it.
