## About this design

When she was ready to bathe she spread lotus and rose petals on top of the water, then gently dipped one toe into the fragrant tepid bath.

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

Started with lotus petals floating on bath water.

## Questions

What sizes are there?

Long scarves are 65 × 180 cm, squares 90 × 90 cm (about 35 inches) or 70 × 70 cm, pareos 110 × 230 cm and pocket squares 42 × 42 cm. Each product page shows its size.

How long does delivery take?

In-stock pieces are delivered in 2 to 3 weeks by tracked shipping (US $30, UK £24, Europe €28, UAE AED 110, elsewhere $35 per order). Pieces marked "made to order" are made for you and delivered in 6 to 8 weeks. We ship worldwide.

Can I return it?

Yes, within 14 days of delivery if it's unworn and in its original packaging. Returns go back to Aubrey's studio in Bangkok; you pay the return postage, and we refund the price of the piece once it arrives. [Returns in full](https://thekansocollective.com/terms#returns).

Is it a good gift?

Yes. Each scarf is signed by the artist, and the designs aren't sold in shops, so it's a gift few people will already have.

How do I look after it?

To confirm: dry clean, or hand wash cold with a mild silk detergent and dry flat away from sunlight.
