‘Lean in’ grey silk crepe handprinted scarf by Carole Waller
I was invited to make a collection of handprinted scarves with Beckford Silk near Cheltenham in the UK in 1994, as the first of their collaborations with artists and which we took together to London and Paris Fashion week.
The Beckford Silk project was in the spirit of Zika and Lida Ascher, long known as one of the world’s most beautiful scarf labels, marrying the most luxurious fabrics with famous artists prints – from Matisse to Henry Moore – and for collaborations with some of fashion’s biggest names, including Dior and Balenciaga.
A long silk crepe de chine scarf – this is the grey handprinted colourway which includes dove grey, pink, aqua, mustard yellow and cornflower blue. Crepe de chine silk is the classic fabric for scarves with its beautiful drape and fluidity.
The code for this scarf is 56.5

Carole Waller art to wear:
Each garment and scarf by Carole Waller is unique. They are handpainted and screenprinted by me at my studio just outside Bath. I use my fabrics as unprimed ‘canvases’ and the paintings evolve as I work so no two pieces are the same. Every scarf is signed and you can commission me to make a piece especially for you. I cannot colour match, but I can promise you a unique artwork. I welcome visitors anytime, by appointment. The studio and small showroom is at our home 4 miles east of Bath on the A4, with good parking and a warm welcome. Waller and Wood was formerly in Abbey Green in Bath.
The code for this piece is S56
