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. 

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 dress for New Year’s Eve. The proportions of wool and silk are carefully balanced to result in an extremely fluid and lightweight, delicate but still protective accessory.
