Each of my silk scarves is a little piece of nature captured on cloth. This one is an elegant square of habutai silk, hand-printed using only the natural pigments released by mixed eucalyptus and kāpuka leaves—no inks, just the colours gifted by the leaves themselves through a slow, mindful process.
Because each leaf leaves its own unique mark, no two prints are ever the same. This scarf is light as air, soft against the skin, and versatile—wear it knotted at the neck, as a headscarf, or simply draped.
I love that every piece feels like both an artwork and an accessory—an intimate way of carrying nature with you. It’s a timeless expression of seasonal change, natural beauty, and the quiet alchemy between silk and leaf.

Each scarf is hand-printed with natural plant pigments, and I’ve done my best to show the colours accurately. Because of the subtle variations in leaves and fibres, the hues may appear slightly different in real life than on your screen.
