Women of Light.
Mysterious, luminous, mystical.
The uniqueness of the Stella Shawl can be recognized in every smallest detail. The 18k gold-plated silver medal with the ChiaraIs logo applied to each Shawl guarantees that each garment has been handmade in our laboratory located in Scicli in full respect of the artisanal and cultural tradition of the Sicilian Shawl.
The medal is the exclusive seal of the Stella Shawl and an identifying symbol of the ChiaraIs brand, the only artisan company in Italy that makes its shawls entirely by hand.
Each Shawl is a unique piece, and like a work of art it bears the signature of the Woman of Light who created it.
Always been in love with life, I believe in the great strength of Women. ChiaraIs is made by women.
Together we managed to combine innovation and tradition, bringing the Stella Shawl from a small town in Sicily to the high fashion boutiques.
