Dragonflies Habotai Silk Scarf

DESIGNER'S NOTES

A floral Fox & Chave silk habotai scarf featuring brightly coloured, large scale wings of butterflies in an graphical and abstracted design.

The elegance, iridescent wings, and sleek, aerodynamic symmetry of dragonflies made them popular in Art Deco design. Moving beyond Art Nouveau’s organic, flowing curves, Art Deco embraced the insect's natural precision, translating its segmented body and veined wings into sharp, stylised motifs. Jewellers, glassmakers, and architects transformed dragonflies into iconic emblems of modernity, luxury, and speed using platinum, diamonds, and stained glass

STYLING

A Fox & Chave habotai silk scarf can be worn with the classic knot style or a pussycat bow. You can even create a shawl effect by knotting two scarves together behind your neck and allowing them to drape over your shoulders.
