5 out of 5 starsThis scarf is stunning! I thought it looked great in the pictures but was even more impressed on seeing it in reality. The colours and finish are beautiful and it is a truly unique product. I bought it for my Mum for Christmas and she loved it. It was also packaged beautifully and Arati was very quick to respond to my order, ensuring that this item would reach me in good time. All round great customer service and a very special gift. Thanks Arati!

5 out of 5 starsI adore this little bracelet. I bought it with the intention of giving it as a gift but I'm not at all sure that I can part with it! Thanks very much.

5 out of 5 starsI liked the item at first sight! It is as beautiful as I saw on the picture but there’s one thing; the silk cloth covering the beads was not painted in black but in black to yellow gradation, which made this necklace more special :)

Frequently asked questions
Who makes Arati Devasher silk accessories?
Each scarf, tie, or accessory is individually made and designed by me (designer-maker Arati Devasher) at my London, UK studio. I paints and dye silk by hand, creating luxurious scarves, ties, bags and necklaces. Vibrant colour is key to my work, a legacy of my Indian heritage and upbringing. Intricate florals and sharp geometric motifs are the main focus of my designs. Fish and birds make occasional appearances, always in repetition, thereby creating their own patterns.
What is painted silk?
Painted means exactly that... it's painted by hand and not printed. Each piece is individually designed and begins its life as pure white silk. Hot wax and dyes are brushed in multiple layers on to white silk. My hand-dyed collections are made by brushing dye on to the precisely folded and clamped pieces of silk that create the geometric patterns of traditional Japanese shibori.
There are no printing techniques or stencils used in the design of these accessories: only a logo is neatly screen-printed in a corner when the piece is completed.
The fabric is 100% silk.
Why silk and not any other fabric?
Silk is a luxurious, versatile, sustainable and natural material. It is warm in the winter and a cool wicking surface in the summer. It holds up well to regular use; wear silks in winter to keep you toasty warm, and in summer to wick sweat and keep you cool.
The item I want is sold out. Can you make another?
Yes, I can make you a similar piece, just send a conversation to me on Etsy or an email to info@aratidevasher.co.uk
Custom and personalised orders
Please send an Etsy conversation or email me at info@aratidevasher.co.uk so we can discuss bringing your vision to life. The hand painted silk scarf you order will be ready to ship within 2–4 weeks.
Silk scarves, ties and jewellery always make sophisticated and luxurious gifts for men and women of all ages, and for any occasion from birthdays and anniversaries to graduations, proms and festive holidays. Each scarf, tie and necklace is a unique piece of wearable art – it makes your gift much more special and precious than those bought from a big shop. In addition, there are many ways to use scarves, not just for its original purpose, but as a multi-faceted accessory... a belt, hair-tie or bandeau-blouse, even a sling bag.
How long does shipping take?
All orders will be shipped within 1-3 business days of payment being received, posted via Royal Mail tracked and signed, unless you have selected special or expedited delivery where available.
If you place an order around busier holidays such as Christmas, please remember that shipping around any holiday can be very unpredictable and timely orders or Priority Upgrades are recommended to ensure faster delivery times!
International (non UK) orders can sometimes take up to 3 weeks to arrive. International buyers are responsible for any and all Customs Charges, Taxes & Additional Postal Fees.
Care instructions
Silk is amazingly resilient and requires little care.
– Wash scarves or ties gently in cool water with a mild soap – do not scrub; then roll in a towel to blot. Iron on a low heat while still damp.
– Necklaces, bags and other accessories need not be washed unless soiled... just dab at the stain with a little water and then air dry.
– The silks are colour fast. However, do not leave the items for prolonged periods of time in direct sunlight: the colours may fade as they do with any type of fabric. Normal use will not cause any fading.
– Never spray perfume or deodorant directly on the silks and do not use bleach, stain removers, dry-cleaning products or alcohol-based cleaners on the silk, as this may have unpredictable results.

Why do you charge for shipping?
Just a friendly reminder that there is no such thing as 'free shipping'... It's a service that costs money. If you're getting free shipping, that means the shipper is paying for it. That's why a lot of us who have small one-woman (or man) businesses have a minimum spend to qualify for 'free' shipping. It's also why a lot of us can't offer free shipping across our entire range. I know most people who shop independent are lovely and totally understand this ♥️ I hope you do too.
