Named after the Greek god of the grape harvest, this rich wine-themed silk is comprised of deep merlot, blush, and onyx black! As a liberator, Dionysus’ wine, music, and ecstatic dance freed his followers from their fears and subverted the oppressive restraints of the powerful. His fennel-stem sceptre, sometimes wound with ivy and dripping with honey, was both a beneficent wand and a weapon used to destroy those who opposed his cult and the freedoms he represented. Those who partook of his mysteries were believed to be possessed and empowered by the god himself…Tricolore shantung is 1.5x the weight and twice the thickness of our standard shantung! That means it's not only eye-popping, it's extra-strong and durable as well!
