Klee Stripe Pastels Velvet
Inspired by Paul Klee’s “Kühlung in einem Garten der heissen Zone” and other drawings of his from the 1920’s, this pastel toned velvet piece features a black modernist pattern upon a gradient of pastel pinks, purples, greens, and yellows. The Klee Stripe Pastels design is one of our core designs, and is available in both cashmere and velvet. The velvet Klee Stripe Pastels collection was painted by hand in Sag Harbor by Lisa Kiss. Limited Edition release.

Old World Style Made New
Each Lisa Kiss scarf embodies the poetry of artistic expression and enduring elegance. Our velvet scarves are each one-of-a-kind, as they are cut from a hand-painted run of fabric. No two will be exactly the same. Due to the natural dye process, the color of each scarf may be slightly varied throughout. The velvet pile reflects light and colors will shift in different lights. Please note, the Klee Stripe Pastels collection is limited in availability. A small number of pieces are available.
Material
Silk & Rayon Velvet
Sustainable Style
We pride ourselves on leaving no wasted fabric in the production process. Our small batch process allows us to produce as many pieces as we need, so nothing goes to waste or must be thrown away. Our Sag Harbor studio, where the majority of our scarves are handmade, primarily runs on renewable solar energy.
The Hand-Painting Process
Each “run” of fabric, measuring a few meters long, begins as a blank white canvas. Lisa’s painting technique utilizes an ancient Japanese method of hanging fabric traditionally used to paint textiles for Kimonos. The full process can take up to four days to produce a finished scarf. Learn more about the process here.
About The Artist
Originally trained as a painter in the Old Masters style, Lisa Kiss has been hand-painting textiles for over 40 years. She began her business in Manhattan in the 1980’s, selling her hand-painted scarves and home textile collections to Barney’s, Nordstrom, ABC Carpet, and more.
Care
When you’d like to clean your velvet scarf, you can hand wash with gentle soap and then put it in the dryer to fluff it back up (we’re serious!)—all our velvet scarves have already been set in the machine so it will not harm them. Do not iron, only steam.
