Leonard Paris Orange Multicolored Print Silk Jersey Fringe Shawl / Scarf, 1970s

Leonard prides itself on a mastery of the textile arts. From the cloth quality to the expert handwork that goes into the creation of the prints, for the Leonard brand it is not about elaborate accessory or garment designs, but rather allowing the fabric to speak for itself.

This 1970s Leonard shawl bears a dynamic print of beveled chevrons and curvilinear vertical swoops that are screen printed on an impeccable silk jersey. The scarf explores a warm color harmony with muted hues of red, yellow-orange, tangerine, and magenta that are balanced by cooler hues of sky blue, lilac, indigo and white. The sheer size of the shawl allows the print to be considerably more ostentatious draping from around the neck to about knee length as the orange fringe at the bottom reaches further down.

The excellence in this garment speaks through an unusual conversation of visual sharpness and tactile softness. Vivid can perfectly describe any look that this Leonard shawl is paired with.

Measurements:

Length: 110 inches

Width: 10 9inches, and gradually widens to 18 inches before the fringe

Although the shawl is lacking the original label, the “Leonard” signature is featured throughout the print. Unlined, this Leonard shawl is in excellent vintage condition having only a small pinhole on the white area of the print that rests behind the neck. Professionally cleaned and pressed, high-quality vintage pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself.
