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.

About the Print:

Joyful flowers, whimsical declarations of the heart, and unapologetic hope — this is our love language! The amazing artwork used for this piece was hand-drawn in Pennsylvania in 1854, and was originally created as a backdrop for a perfume and botanical extract display. We reworked the images and added our own touches — including the heart-in-hand (the symbol for kindness and charity), and messages in historic fonts to complement the original hand-lettering. The result is a true original: romantic, bohemian, and super cool.

100% viscose (derived from plant fibres such as bamboo and wood). Handwash, hang to dry.
68cm x 155cm.

Our Muse

The optimist, the kind-hearted. Women who exude joy — who bring hope and happiness to everyone they love. Women who keep the faith — and help the rest of us keep it too 😉

More Inspo

In 1800’s and early 1900’s before the era of screens, advertisers needed their print ads and store displays to be as eye catching and visually captivating as possible to grab the viewer’s attention. Posters, magazine prints ads, and in-store backdrops during the Victorian period were often riotous, colourful, and packed with lush visuals. The more flourishes the better! We absolutely love working with these antique art pieces… they still manage to capture the imagination, even hundreds of years later.

The Poem

–If Love is Gold

(after Emily Dickinson) 

If love is gold,
her riches
run deep. She spends
love like water,
like it grows on trees,
rich as the ripe sun
on fields of wheat,
rich as food too rich
to eat. Love flies

from her pockets
like finches, each
with a song so sweet
and a wet red heart
in a feathered breast
that swells with hope
each beat. She spends

love like it never leaves.
Pursestrings loose
as her lips that speak
saying take my love,
I have more
than I need
