This timeless piece of wearable art features Botticelli's "The Birth of Venus," a classic painting from the Italian Renaissance. Printed on a handmade silk scarf, the painting illustrates a story from Roman mythology. The goddess of beauty, Venus, is blown to shore by the wind god, while the woman on the river bank is waiting to clothe her with a cloak.

This scarf is meant to add a touch of beauty to any ensemble.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where can I find your size chart?

We have two types of products: ready-to-ship and custom.

Ready-to-ship products have their size charts in the images. Usually it's the last image, so please scroll to the end.

Custom products have "custom" in the product name and are made to order. For custom products, we make each item based on your measurements, so please read the product copy for measurement requests. You could also use our size charts for custom products, in which case please refer to the size chart image.

How fast do you ship?

We usually ship in 1-3 business days. That being said, we deal with a lot of wedding orders, PR orders and corporate gifting orders, so we understand the sense of urgency.

If you need an order to be shipped out asap, please use the chat option on site (if one of our team members is monitoring the site, there's a chat box which allows you to chat with us in real time), email info@softstrokessilk or call 1-647-242-6392.

How do I take care of my silk?

Most of our items can be machine washed (put in a laundry mesh bag, wash on the delicate cycle, use gentle detergent and hang to dry), even though hand washing is recommended to maintain the lustre of silk. However, silk scarves are very delicate and can only be hand washed.

Please read the product copy of the specific item for more details.

Where are you located? Can I pick up my order/go in to try something on?

We currently have two pickup locations. One in Liberty Village, Toronto, Ontario; the other one in Markham, Ontario. We don't have storefronts, so these are pickup locations only.

To book a pickup, please email info@softstrokessilk.com. Products low in inventory may only be available in one of the locations, so let us know the product (item, size, colour, quantity) you are interested in when emailing.

If you'd like to try something on, we may be able to accommodate you around the Liberty Village area. Please message us for details.
