Product Details

La Païva is the sixth of eight patterns in the Courtesans shawl collection.

Ruthlessly ambitious, Thérèse Lachmann, a.k.a. Madame Villoing, later Madame la Marquise de Païva, finally Countess Henkel von Donnersmark, is perhaps the most notorious of all the Parisian demi-monde. In one memoir, she is described as entering a freezing cold room, bare-armed and dripping with jewels – some kind of mythological monster from the freezing north.

La Païva is a triangular shawl with increasing lace pattern and optional beads, worked sideways.
