The Suede Shawl

The Suede Shawl is a signature atelier style, handmade in England from soft suede.

 

Designed to be worn over the shoulders, wrapped close to the body, or carried into the evening, it brings warmth, movement, and quiet drama to summer dressing.

 

Each piece is cut and finished by hand, with hand-knotted suede fringe creating weight, movement, and a softly tactile edge. Colour availability may vary according to the hides available to the atelier.

 

Presented in a soft bamboo silk dust bag with satin ribbon ties, created to protect the piece between wears and extend the quiet ritual of care beyond the atelier.

 

Made to order.

Colours shown online are intended as a guide and may vary according to screen settings and lighting conditions. Tortoro is particularly responsive to light. The soft nap of the suede catches the light differently as the piece moves or is brushed, allowing the same colour to appear warmer, cooler, lighter or deeper from different angles. The gallery therefore shows Tortoro  as it naturally behaves under a range of lighting conditions.

Each shawl is crafted from natural suede. Subtle variations in tone, texture and surface markings are inherent to the material and are not considered faults; they form part of its individual character and beauty, making every piece unique.

Each Suede Shawl is cut and finished by hand in a triangular form.

 

Approximate dimensions:

Top edge: 121cm / 47.5"
Side edges: 82.5cm / 32.5" each
Hand-knotted side fringe: approximately 14–15cm / 5.5–6"

 

The shawl is unlined to preserve the softness, movement, and natural handle of the suede.

 

• Fringe is placed along the two side edges only and may vary slightly in length according to placement, knotting, and the natural fall of the hide.
• Slight variation may occur due to the natural character of the suede, the hand-cutting process, and the way each fringe is individually knotted.
• The shawl is designed to be worn over the shoulders, wrapped close to the body, or carried as a soft suede layer through warm air, bare skin, and summer nights.
• To preserve the suede, avoid prolonged exposure to rain, moisture, oils, perfume, makeup, and direct heat.
• As suede is a natural material, tonal variation, nap direction, and subtle marks may be present and should be understood as part of the character of the hide.
• Do not machine wash. For cleaning or specialist care, consult a professional suede cleaner or contact the atelier for guidance.
• Store in the bamboo silk dust bag and box when not in use.
