Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that’s best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes”

After so many requests from our wonderful customers, we’re thrilled to introduce scarves to our lineup! We’ve modelled the size and weight after our favourite vintage French scarves to create chic, easy to wear designs for every day use. Wear them wrapped once around the neck, tucked in to a jacket, or tied in the hair. Crafted from soft viscose, the fabric is a lighter, airier weight than our kimonos, with the same beautifully soft feel. They make the perfect gift too!

About the Print:

A regal, resplendent celebration of the stories told in the stars! Our Dreamweaver design features an iconic 1896 zodiac illustration by beloved Art Nouveau artist Alphonse Mucha, depicting a woman majestically surrounded by the by the 12 zodiac signs and adorned with intricate celestial jewellery. The background of this beautiful piece comes from a floral ink-on-silk scroll painting by Ueno Setsugaku, created in the 1860’s. To add even more detail to this design, we embellished the woman’s remarkable crown with a shining star, and trimmed everything with Mucha’s zodiac signs on a deep burgundy background. The result is an opulent and elegant take on Mucha’s work, with a nod to the luxe bohemianism of the 1970’s.

100% viscose (derived from plant fibres such as bamboo and wood). Handwash, hang to dry.

More Inspo

Alphonse Mucha, whose art is synonymous with Art Nouveau style, had a career filled with fascinating projects — and an unexpected journey to fame. In 1894, while working in Paris, Mucha happened to be in the right place at the right time when a rush order came in for a new poster for French actress Sarah Bernhardt’s new play “Gismonda”. The printer, who knew Mucha, turned to him in desperation to create the poster over the Christmas holidays. Mucha’s resulting design, with its graceful lines and innovative details, captivated the public — making him an overnight sensation. This chance opportunity also launched his relationship with Bernhardt, which led to many other such commissions. Beyond his famous posters, Mucha’s work was incredibly diverse. He created intricate jewelry, book illustrations and elaborate stage sets, and even designed stamps and bank notes over the course of his incredible artistic career.

The Poem

Her heart, a moon
behind her breast
caught in the branches
of her chest —
head full of night
a crown of sky
and hope enthroned
in her starry eye.
