Printed with eucalyptus and kapuka leaves on natural ivory silk satin georgette, this piece carries an energetic, layered rhythm. Four long strips of crisp, overlapping leaf impressions — silver dollar, eucalyptus, and kapuka — form a dynamic composition that feels both spontaneous and deliberate. Tones of orange, grey, and soft purple shift across the surface, evoking movement, light, and shadow.
The fabric’s lustrous satin face catches the light, while the reverse has a gentle crepe texture that drapes fluidly against the skin. Light and flowing, it can be worn as a scarf or shawl — an elegant meeting of order and wildness, fibre and leaf.
Fabric: Silk satin georgette
Dimensions: Approximately 68 × 190 cm
Colour Note
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.
