MERELE DE AUR / WOOL SCARF
Inspired by the Romanian fairytale "Prâslea cel voinic și merele de aur", this scarf is bright, sunny and optimistic, depicting a winding apple tree growing up to the sky and soft beige foliage filling up the gilded border. Black accents break the golden pattern, creating a modern rhythm and a good base for building an outfit.

ZÂNA ZORILOR / WOOL SCARF
Inspired by the Romanian fairytale "Zâna Zorilor", this scarf is bold, passionate and dreamy at the same time, depicting the beautiful fairy at the break of dawn, sleeping on a bed of flowers under glistening droplets of dew - blissfully unaware of the events to come.

NUNTĂ ÎN CER / wool + silk scarf
"On Dragobete (February 24th), birds choose their partners for life and come together to build their nests. These are known as <betrothals in heaven> and it is believed that if you see a newly pair of love birds, you will always be adored."
Inspired by the Romanian custom that marks the rebirth of the nature after a long winter and my love for magic and folklore retold in today’s language, this NUNTĂ ÎN CER scarf is the gesture that celebrates love in a contemporary way, yet deeply rooted in the purity of a world that sometimes feels unworldly. Bearing the first buds of spring, four birds as red as the fire in our hearts contrast with the cloud-like background of the scarf, reminding us of the magic of such a powerful celebration for Romanian people.
Reminding us of who we were, created for who we are.
size: 140x140 cm
composition: 70% wool + 30% silk
fringed borders
made in Italy
It’s a scarf long enough to wrap around your neck over a cosy coat, yet delicate enough to throw on your shoulders over an elegant, light dress. The proportions of wool and silk are carefully balanced to result in a fluid and light, but still protective accessory.
THE FIRE / wool + silk scarf
“On Christmas Eve, all members of the family gather round the fire stove and start brightening the fire with a twig taken from a young tree. Romanians believe luck is conjured this way and abundance, good life and health is wished upon everyone. After everyone stirs the fire with the little branch, it is thrown into the flames, burning up and sealing the fate of everyone present.“
Inspired by the Romanian custom of stirring the fire and my love for magic and folklore retold in today’s language, THE FIRE scarf is the gesture that celebrates your roots and makes you wear them proudly in a modern way, all while making sure that new life will join you in the year to come, purified by such a powerful and symbolic force of nature for our ancestors.
With two ways to wear it, depending on how you fold it, you can wear the sign of fortune on your back - the young twig barely touched by the embers, with hundreds of sparks dancing around
OR
you can let yourself be engulfed by the red and pink flames that create a distinctive shape on the purple-blue background of the scarf.
May you have as many years of good fortune as are sparks in this fire!

THE FLOWERS / wool + silk scarf
"On St. Andrew’s Eve, women cut little branches of apple, plum or sour cherry trees, bring them inside where it’s warm and place them in water. If New Year’s Eve finds them flowering, they symbolise abundance and joy in the year to come."
Inspired by the Romanian custom that marks the beginning of winter and my love for magic and folklore retold in today’s language, this FLOWERS scarf is the gesture that celebrates your roots and makes you wear them proudly in a modern way, all while making sure that good things and abundance will join you in the upcoming year, together with the flowers on your shoulders. Vegetal elements stylised in vibrant colours make a bold contrast with the black background, translating into a contemporary aesthetic the old traditions performed on such a powerful night for the Romanian people.
