FABRIC

There are a lot of reasons why we love linen. Not only is it beautiful to wear, it is one of the most ecologically friendly natural fibres you can use.

Linen is made from flax, the stalk is cultivated for its fibre. Flax grows naturally and requires less water and fewer pesticides than most other natural fibres. Because flax is a natural fibre it is completely recyclable and biodegradable. Flax is gentle on the land and is easy to incorporate into modern crop rotations, preventing soil degradation. 

Linen is a very strong fibre, it has a high moisture absorbency and is hypo-allergenic. Furthermore the beauty of linen can be found in its ability to soften the more it is used. 

ARTISAN

Our gorgeous linen scarves play an important role in our mission to preserve the artisan crafts.

They have been hand loomed in a small village in West Bengal providing the opportunity for the next generation to continue the family tradition of weaving. 

Linen yarn is inherently strong, which reduces the need for starching during spinning and weaving. We are currently providing ongoing work for 8 young weavers, who have been trained in weaving specifically for the production of our scarves and as we increase our orders, we will continue to provide opportunities for young weavers to learn these skills. 

We think this is really special and we hope you do too.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

This is a beautiful hand crafted product so we ask that you care for it accordingly. We don’t use chemical detergents, we recommend a gentle wool wash. Please do not dry in direct sunlight.

SCARVES - VERONICA - MERINO

Is it all in that pretty little head of yours? What goes on in that place in the dark?
Well I used to know a girl and I could have sworn that her name was Veronica.                                                                                      Well she used to have a carefree mind of her own and a delicate look in her eye. These days I’m afraid she’s not even sure if her name is Veronica.                                                                                              Veronica sits in her favourite chair and she sits very quiet and still. And they call her a name that they never get right and if they don’t then nobody else will. But she used to have a carefree mind of her own, with devilish look in her eye.  Saying ‘You can call me anything you like, but my name is Veronica.’

SCARVES - TULIP - LAMBSWOOL

I envy those with a ‘garden calender’..you know the one, it tells you when to plant this, prune this, harvest this, eat this and so on.
One cold April morning I head down to my local nursery and fill a trolley with a bevy of lush thriving plants.  Once home I naively navigate my way round ‘landscape design’, and plant my throng.
2 weeks later – my oasis is no more.  Perhaps I should have read the little sticky up card thingy that comes with the plant or at the very least watered them?
4 months later – my eyes are treated to a vision in red.  There in the middle of the lawn a clumsily placed clump of extraordinary red tulips stand tall and proud.  These are my kind of low maintenance flower – throw them in the ground and forget about and every year, you’ll be rewarded.

SCARVES - TRICKS - LAMBSWOOL

Madame Brussels AKA Caroline Hodgson was turning tricks in ‘Little Lon’ – the red light district of Melbourne during the late 19th Century. Little Lon bordered by Lonsdale St, Spring St, Exhibition St & Latrobe St. This under privileged area was notorious for prostitution and petty crime. Described by evangelist Henry Varley "a loathsome centre in which crime, gambling hells, opium dens and degraded Chinese abound, and where hundred of licentious and horribly debased men and women are herded like swine". These days there is minimal evidence of the place that once was, with many existing building demolished in the 1950’

SCARVES - TRAM I AM - MERINO

 The ‘W’ class tram – Melbourne born and bred. Our streets were once filled with the whirring and distinctive ‘Bing-Bing’ sounds of these passenger movers. Starting out in 1923 and being the conduit Melbourne tram for 60 years, there were many varieties of the W class tram, working from W through to the W8 model. These trams were removed from our streets from time to time, due to ineffective brakes, lights etc. On each occasion, the community banded together to bring them back. Over the years, we have watched the ‘W’class tram numbers slowly diminish, across our Melbourne tramways. 752 of these trams were built; today less than 40 are operational in Melbourne. You can take a free trip on a ‘W ‘ Class tram in the heart of our city, on the ‘City Circle Tram’. Hop on and take a ride down Memory Lane or Flinders Street at least. Made in Melbourne from premium Australian extrafine Merino wool.

Just keep your head down and your bum up. Its ok to be curious about what everybody else is doing, it’s wonderful to be inspired by what everybody else is doing.

You my friend are an individual, a wonderful unique sole. One of a kind, inimitable. People may love you, people may loath you, people may imitate you, people may ignore you, people may copy you but people will never be you. Only you can be you. You’re doing a damn good job of it, now keep it up!
