Your scarf is custom made for you. Only one is designed, artwork hand painted, and sustainably hand made and finished for you. It is a wearable, hand painted bespoke piece of art.
Each scarf is one-of-a kind, bespoke and unique, like the wearer.
For Heritage Collection scarves, these are designed and produced in limited quantities. All of our scarf designs are hand painted by Kathy Kyle and then printed in the only GOTS-certified and organic silk supplier in the UK.

My scarves are printed in the UK and hand sewn in France. The art is hand painted in Surrey and my scarves are printed sustainably in Macclesfield. My collection of 100% pure silk scarves are sourced from the only Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) certified and organic silk supplier in the UK.

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.

Based upon our 1:1 consultation (via zoom, a cup of coffee or a cocktail), I shall mock up the scarf design for your review.
You can touch and have a look at the fabric and finish of the silk sample. I will create a design specifically for you on my iPad or sketch it out on paper.
Once you approve your design, I’ll draw and hand paint your scarf design on archival Arches watercolour paper.
Your final artwork will then be sent to my silk scarf manufacturing partner for production.
I will guide you through the whole process regarding selecting your scarf size, icon/theme placement, background, colour ways, and finishing.
Find Kathy’s guide as a starting point for designing your scarf.

Your silk twill scarf will be packaged in a luxury book style box with a ribbon closure for safe storage. It will wrapped in 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.
I 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.
