Description

Sometimes, all it takes is a glance to set your imagination travelling. This beautiful silk scarf transports us to Japan, to a golden autumn day in the forests around Nara. A time when the leaves turn rich shades of red, soft orange and glowing gold, and nature puts on its most spectacular display of colour.

Against a deep burgundy silk background, intricately embroidered flowers and leaves unfold in warm autumn shades. Countless delicate Kantha stitches give the scarf its distinctive texture, making the floral patterns look almost as though they have been painted onto the fabric.

Traditional embroidery from Bengal turns each piece into a little work of art. Unlined and wonderfully lightweight, the silk drapes beautifully and feels soft against the skin. Wear it casually wrapped around your neck, elegantly draped over your shoulders or as a colourful accent to a simple outfit.

A touch of Japanese autumn romance, captured in Bengali craftsmanship. Made to wear, to dream about and to fall in love with.

Material: Silk with traditional Kantha embroidery, unlined
Origin: Bengal, India
Special features: Intricate floral embroidery in warm autumn colours, inspired by the beauty of nature

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.
