Léa Silk shawls are our most popular items. These vibrant pieces will last a lifetime and are passed proudly from mother to daughter.

Sen Hua Hand Painted Silk Shawls

These beautiful narrow shawls are water dyed and made of Sen Hua, or raw silk, the strongest silk in the world. The yarn for Sen Hua comes from the outside of the silk worm’s cocoon, where the silk is strong and thick. Since it is more difficult to weave than most other silks, it takes experienced weavers to create Sen Hua cloth, which is very supple and soft to the touch.

Dok Bua Silk Shawls

Dok Bua shawls are made using a traditional weaving technique from the Ayutthaya period in Thailand. The material is quite thick, but soft and does not need ironing. Each piece of woven fabric represents a unique work of art, which will never be reproduced or copied. Dok Bua, also known as the "Lotus Knot", is created by joining silk threads of different lengths with the mystical "Lotus Knot". Originally woven by poor country folk from left over yarn, this traditional form has been given new life with the vibrant colours of Léa Silk and the skills of the villagers of Ban Reng Khai.
