Prince Calaf answers them all, winning her hand, yet offers her escape if she learns his name by dawn. The slave girl Liù sacrifices herself to protect him. Every design starts as Aubrey's own artwork. The silk twill is woven in China, the home of silk; each scarf is then printed in Bangkok and its edges rolled and hemmed by hand, with his signature in the print. ## Ways to wear it - **At the neck**Fold into a long band and knot loosely at the front or side. - **In the hair**As a headscarf, or folded narrow and tied around a ponytail. - **On a bag**Tied to the handle, so the color shows from across the room. - **As a top**Folded into a triangle and knotted behind the neck and back. ## How this design began Part of his opera series, designed for Capella Hanoi, the hotel near the Hanoi Opera House that celebrates the fin de siècle and everything opera.
