Each silk scarf is hand-painted, ethically printed onto 100% mulberry silk, and hand rolled in Lyon, France, which is why it takes time, and why it is worth waiting for. We'll email you the moment your piece ships.
Each twilly and sarong is also hand-painted, ethically printed onto 100% mulberry silk and sewn in Surrey, England.
10% of the proceeds of your order is going directly to Dress For Success Greater London. We'll share the full impact once the collection has shipped.

About the design
In Juanita's own words:
"This piece is so much more than what I wore to the Beyond Beauty screening. It is my story, quite literally, woven into fabric."
Every motif was chosen with intention:
🌹 A red English rose for London
🌸 A magenta magnolia for Chattanooga
🌺 A pink orchid for Singapore
🔥 A golden phoenix for resilience, rebirth and becoming
✨ Three stars of Orion's Belt, honouring motherhood
🌿 Mustard flowers, for faith that moves mountains
📷 A camera lens, for seeing beauty in every woman
〰️ Hand-drawn flight paths, tracing a life lived across continents
Its purpose doesn't end there. A portion of proceeds from this collection supports Dress For Success Greater London, whose work helping women step into their potential runs through everything this design represents.
The twilly, sarong and scarf are hand-painted, ethically printed onto 100% mulberry silk, and made to order, which means this presale is what tells us how many to make. Order between now and 21 September to guarantee your piece; production begins the moment presale closes, so there won't be a second window for this design unless there is further demand.

Silk is the only natural fibre that produces more oxygen than it consumes, and the mulberry tree - where our silk is derived - contributes towards carbon neutrality. These trees don’t need harmful chemicals or pesticides to thrive. This is one of the reasons I selected silk as my medium for sharing my art and your stories.
You can be rest assured that your scarf is made without harmful chemicals, where 100% of the water used is drawn from our partner’s very own reservoir, which contains no chlorine, chloramines, mercury, VOC’s, pharmaceuticals, herbicides or pesticides. Your scarf is also hand-finished in Macclesfield, where Britain’s textile industry was born.
