I’m very excited to bring to my shop these exquisite silk scarves featuring Tràigh Alba shell art from Scottish beaches. Professionally digitally printed from superb art reproduction photographs, their ultra high resolution showcases the beauty of Scottish shells in stunning detail. Four designs are available in this first release, chosen for the vibrancy they lend to these pieces of wearable art. Scarves have the ability to transform an outfit, and these unique designs provide a perfect focal point.
Based on my original art piece ‘Tiree celebration’ this scarf showcases special beach finds a grid design. This structure lends consistent spacing to a remarkable collection of shells from Tiree, with a focus on vivid colours as well as subtler tones. With more background visible, a very pale lilac/grey base provides a stylish contrast to the wonderfully detailed shells.
Each scarf measures 100cm (39 inches) square, and is woven from pure silk into crepe de chine - a soft, smooth fabric that has a matte finish and a uniquely ripple-textured surface. This gives wonderful drape and depth of colour, and a very subtle sheen. The scarves are mid weight silk (16 momme), which is light enough to float but has enough structure to hold a variety of scarf ties. The generous sizing increases versatility, allowing use as a scarf, shawl or many other ways to wear. These pure silk scarves feel wonderful against the skin - warm yet breathable.
Delivered wrapped in tissue paper in a ribbon tied gift box, Tràigh Alba scarves make a wonderfully special gift, perfect for lovers of shells, beaches, Scotland or just those that appreciate beautiful things 🙂
