De Grassi Silk Scarf

This design is named in honour of two exceptionally brave and capable sisters, Charlotte and Cornelia De Grassi. Over the course of several days during the Upper Canada Rebellion of 1837, the fifteen and thirteen year old took it upon themselves to spy on the rebels, report critical information to the loyalists, relay secret messages across enemy lines and, ultimately, escape amid respective hails of gunfire.

Each scarf measures 40.6 x 182.9 cm (16" x 72") and is available in 100% silk habotai with a complementary coloured durable baby rolled hem.

Care instructions for our silk habotai scarves: hand wash in cold water with a mild detergent. Do not bleach! Hang to dry. Iron on the cotton setting. May be drycleaned.

Designed, printed and sewn in Canada.
