SPRING STYLE: LIGHTER LAYERS FOR A LIVELY SEASON
Spring has certainly turned up bright and early this year. The sun is out, birds are practically auditioning for Disney, and perhaps you’re already pondering daring to pack away the thermals. Too soon?
To celebrate the newly arrived sunshine and spring flowers, here are three easy looks using items you likely already own (hello faithful jeans and comfy loafers!) paired with silks that’ll raise your outfit effortlessly by several notches.
LOOK 1: CLASSIC STRIPES & CONVERSATION STARTERS
ENSEMBLE
- Red and white stripe shirt (a forever classic)
- Wide Leg Jeans
- Cream Loafers
Here’s a silk with some soul. Inspired by an 1805 Buddhist altar cloth from the Edo Period, that brings tranquillity and cultural gravitas right to your neckline. The butsudan—a sacred Japanese altar—was, and still is, a centre of mindfulness, respect, and contemplation. Pair this scarf with your striped shirt and voila!

Go full Renaissance with a scarf inspired by an album amicorum—a kind of 16th-century scrapbook where students collected poems, doodles, dried flowers, and sentimental scribbles from friends. Romantic, nostalgic, and perfect if you enjoy a bit of literary flair with your look.

LOOK 2: KOSSU or PEACOCK over LILAC
ENSEMBLE
- Lilac jumper (this one’s from Brave Soul)
- White Jeans
- Cream Loafers
BLUE KOSSU LARGE HABOTAI
Not available just yet, but it’s coming soon and so worth the wait. Keep your eyes on the New collection, because this beauty is an homage in silk to… silk!
Inspired by kossu, a painstakingly intricate Chinese weaving technique, this design is based on a magnificent hanging from the 18th or 19th century. The original is coloured silks woven against a bold red background, topped with a striking apple green border. This is our blue version, which pairs so well with lilac for a spring vibe.
Peacocks! Stained glass! Tiffany! This scarf is a riot of colour and charm, inspired by a stained glass window designed in 1893 by Louis Comfort Tiffany himself. The peacock was basically his muse, and honestly, who can blame him? Wrap this around your neck and feel instantly more put together.

LOOK 3: BLAZING WITH KLIMT

Now for something sleek and powerful—this skinny silk has all the gravitas of a tie, but with the grace of a scarf. Inspired by Klimt’s Hope II, it’s that lovely mix of pattern, history, and a pop of turquoise! Bonus: this pattern is also available as a silk tie, crepe de chine scarf, wrap, and even a tote, should you want to go full Klimt!
