Description

Sometimes, you fall in love at first sight. And with this scarf, that’s exactly what happened. Head over heels!

I grew up in England in a home filled with antiques and wonderful treasures collected over the years. Among them were beautiful old wooden printing blocks used for traditional block printing on fabric. Even as a child, I was fascinated by their intricately carved patterns. So it’s hardly surprising that this scarf stole my heart the moment I saw it.

Vibrant turquoise block printing meets deep olive green, warm berry tones and a wonderful mix of patterns reminiscent of those traditional block prints. Floral motifs, geometric designs and intricate borders come together in a playful celebration of colour and craftsmanship. Delicate Kantha embroidery adds a beautiful texture to the fabric, while the charming fringes give the scarf a relaxed, carefree finish.

Whether casually wrapped around your neck, generously draped over your shoulders or worn as a colourful statement piece with a simple outfit, this scarf brings colour, character and a little wanderlust to your day.

A piece to treasure, bringing back memories, telling stories and simply making you smile. Buy it quickly before I decide not to sell it!

Special features: Colourful patterns inspired by traditional block printing, combined with Kantha embroidery and playful fringes

About the designer

Meet Farah Khan

More than twenty years ago, Farah fell in love with the extraordinary beauty of Kantha embroidery, a centuries old craft from Bengal in which every single stitch is made by hand. With time, patience and skill, simple fabrics are transformed into unique pieces. What began as a fascination soon became something close to Farah’s heart: keeping this beautiful craft alive while creating new opportunities and perspectives for the women who practise it. No two pieces are ever the same. And that is exactly what makes them so special. Every stitch tells a story. Every pattern carries a piece of tradition. And every piece bears the hand, and a little of the heart, of the woman who made it.
