Our scarves are printed in the UK and hand sewn in France. The art is hand painted by Kathy in Surrey, printed sustainably in the UK and hand sewn in France. Our collection of 100% pure silk scarves are sourced from the only Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified and organic silk supplier in the UK.
Yes, Kathy also hand paints clothing. You can find her hand painted tees and dresses in the products section or you can commission her to create something totally bespoke.
All scarves are hand-rolled and finished. Therefore the dimensions are approximate and may vary from time to time. Sizes include:
45 x 45 - Pocket square
90 x 90 - Standard scarf size
135 x 135 - This may be creatively worn as a top, a dress, and even a skirt.
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.

Once you approve your design, She will draw and hand paint your scarf design on archival Arches watercolour paper.
Your final artwork will then be sent to her silk scarf manufacturing partner for production.
She will guide you through the whole process regarding selecting your scarf size, icon/theme placement, background, colour ways, and finishing.
Your silk twill scarf will be packaged in a luxury book style box with a ribbon closure for safe storage. It is wrapped in a specially selected archival acid-free paper to help preserve it for years to come. This luxury box is certified to the highest industry standards for sustainability and having a low carbon footprint.
We suggest you store the scarf in this box to protect and maintain its shape when it is not being worn. Should you choose to dispose of the box, it is biodegradable, compostable, recyclable, made from recycled materials and sustainably sourced.
