A rare evening shawl by Murray Arbeid, the celebrated London couturier known for his glamorous cocktail and eveningwear and a favourite of Princess Diana and Princess Margaret.

This striking piece is crafted in hand-crochet latticework, entirely embroidered with emerald green sequins that shimmer with every movement. Designed to drape luxuriously across the shoulders, the shawl transforms the simplest gown into a dramatic couture statement.
