Why I Chose to Make Silk Scarves

People often ask me, “Why scarves?” And the honest answer is—it felt right.

I’ve always been someone who draws. It’s how I process the world—line, shape, texture. For years I filled sketchbooks with all sorts of illustrations, but I wasn’t quite sure where they belonged. Then one day, I started experimenting with fabric. Specifically, silk.

There’s something magical about silk. It’s light but strong, it takes colour beautifully, and it moves. I love how a drawing can shift and change when it’s worn—how folds and drapes bring a flat image to life. It’s not framed on a wall, it’s not printed and tucked away—it’s out in the world, with you.

Scarves, to me, are the perfect canvas. They can be a splash of colour, a thoughtful gift or a travel companion. I liked that. I liked that my work could be useful and beautiful at the same time.

I also didn’t want to make something disposable. The world’s full of throwaway things. I wanted to make pieces that feel considered, that people can live with and love for years.

So I chose silk scarves. And I keep choosing them
