Pistachio Poppy
A scarf as delectable as its namesake. Crimson poppies stand boldly against a soft pistachio green background, surrounded by fuchsia hued dogwood blossoms. The Poppy Collection is one of our signature designs, and is available in a variety of colors and fabrics. This pistachio and crimson color-way in velvet is the maiden version of the Poppy designs. The velvet Pistachio Poppy was painted by hand in Sag Harbor by Lisa Kiss. Limited Edition release.
Available in Sizes:
Small — 10” x 72”
Medium — 13” x 72”
Large — 20” x 72”
Also Available in Cashmere
Old World Style Made New
Each scarf is one-of-a-kind, as they are cut from a hand-painted run of velvet. No two will be exactly the same. Due to the natural dye process, the color of each scarf will be slightly varied throughout. The velvet pile reflects light and colors will shift slightly in different environments. Please note, the Pistachio Poppy 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.
