Design & Details

  • The Illustrative Narrative: Inspired by historic Mughal miniature tapestries, the print features mounted riders, galloping gazelles, and the sacred "Tree of Life" with perching birds.
  • Framed Ecru Border: A cream running-hare sub-border and geometric jewel framing give structure to the scarf, ensuring it looks balanced whether draped loosely or wrapped.
  • Wool-Silk Comfort: The 70/30 wool-silk blend provides light, breathable warmth without scratchiness or excessive bulk. It drapes naturally and resists slipping.

Effortless Styling

  • With Tailoring: Drape once around the neck under a navy hopsack blazer or brown houndstooth tweed jacket to add warmth and color.
  • With Casual Outerwear: Pair with an olive waxed Barbour, suede jacket, or trench coat over a crewneck knit.
