They are truely AMAZING!

This incredible brand is the brainchild of Professor Richard Weston, architect first and foremost who turned his genious hands and vision to designing.  We first learned about his beautiful scarves when he appeared on BBC2′s Britain’s Next Big Thing which was presented by Dragon’s Den star Theo Paphitis.

So unique!

Richard spent years dedicating his spare time to studying the intricate detailing of the world’s most exquisite minerals, fossils and stones.  Then scanning and magnifying the images he made, which would later be transferred onto Scarves.

The perfect finishing touch to any outfit

The scarves are printed in Lake Como in Italy by one of the world’s finest digital silk printers. The edges are then hand rolled and sewn.
