Purple stoles are traditionally worn during the season of Lent (the six weeks leading up to Easter); some churches also use them during the season of Advent (the Sundays leading up to Christmas).
This stole feels more like Advent to me. It has a blue and purple background behind stylized trees that have leaves of many colors. It is a hard fabric to photograph accurately; the pictures on the black robe are closer to the real colors.
The reverse is light purple with splotches of gray and darker purple. The manufacturer calls it "grunge" which may give you a feel for it. This side would be very good for the season of Lent.
Purple fringe compliments both fabrics.
Purple is a difficult color for me to photograph accurately. The pictures on the black robe are closest, but the fabric is a little more on the pink (rather than the blue) side of purple. Apologies also for some blurring ..
Lavender fringe compliments both fabrics.
This clergy stole is ready to ship. It measures about 48" from the back of the neck to the bottom of the fringe and is approximately 4" wide. The neck is curved and slightly narrowed so that it fits neatly.
All my stoles are carefully tailored with firm interfacing (the same kind found in expensive jackets and coats) so that they hang straight and hold their shape. They are fully reversible -- with no tags hotsell or labels to get in the way.
