The silk fabric used is extremely soft and comfortable, yet luxurious. It is lightweight, breezy, and drapes perfectly. The scarf is 10″ by 60″ and has hand-rolled hems with 100% silk thread and beautiful 100% silk fringes on both ends. Each scarf is hand painted, featuring floral designs on both sides and fading mauve to powder pink.
Scarves are baked in the oven for 15-20 minutes so the dyes set; this assures that the colors will neither fade nor bleed. All of Rabia’s scarves are machine washable and safe to dry clean

We’re excited to report that after a few months of intense efforts in search of a new home for EWI, we found a wonderful home at 320 S. Henry St, Alexandria, VA 22314. We’re only 2 blocks away from King St. and approximately 15 min walk from King St. Metro station.
Aside of a busy month moving our offices, we also had a great visit with members of the Montgomery County Community Foundation interested in our Entrepreneurship and Job Creation Program, and are gearing up for two special events, one at Imagine Artwear in Old Town Alexandria and another hosted by Dianne Lorenz at home in Bethesda, MD.
