Plum Paisley Scarf




Currently, she is spending half of her time in Indonesia, where she has been inspired by the strong traditions of batik art, and the hindu culture of the beautiful island of Bali. Her scarves are inspired by these motifs and colors and depict the rich tones, sounds, movements, and patterns inherent in these traditions.

A thought from Pablo Neruda...
Here I came to the very edge where nothing at all needs saying....
And every day on the balcony of the sea, wings open, fire is born,
And everything is blue again like morning.
