An original design by Ilme Rätsep

The scarf combines a luminous blue-green background with expressive botanical shapes in muted pink and lilac. Fine silver and gold lines flow across the silk, adding movement and delicate detail.

Each scarf is individually painted by hand, making its composition and colour transitions unique. This is a one-of-a-kind piece; no two scarves are exactly alike.

The beauty of natural silk

Natural silk is valued for its light weight, gentle sheen and graceful drape. Its soft feel and moisture-absorbing properties make it a beautiful choice for an accessory worn close to the skin.

Silk deserves thoughtful care. Avoid wringing or rubbing the fabric, and protect it from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.

When to wear it

• For evenings at the theatre, concerts and special dinners.
• As a refined accent for celebrations and visits.
• With a simple dress, blouse or jacket to introduce colour and an artistic detail.
• As a distinctive gift for someone who appreciates Estonian textile art and individual craftsmanship.
