Behind the Recollection collection

When I began designing these scarves, I kept thinking about the way memories appear when your mind drifts — the same way you might doodle without really thinking about it. Shapes start to form, colours begin to appear, and before long something meaningful takes shape without you quite realising how. That’s how these designs came together.

The scarves are full of bold colour and geometric patterns, each one woven by hand using a double cloth technique. This method allows two layers of cloth to sit within the same weave, creating depth and subtle complexity within the pattern. It’s a technique I love because the cloth almost feels alive — shifting slightly in appearance depending on how it’s worn or how the light falls across it.

The inspiration behind the collection comes from my childhood memories of listening to the music of Ludovico Einaudi. His compositions were often playing quietly in the background at home, and over time they became part of the rhythm of everyday life. Even now, when I hear those pieces, they instantly bring those moments back.

While weaving this collection, I wanted to capture some of that feeling — the emotion that music can hold and the way it becomes tied to particular times in our lives.

Each scarf begins with my own memories, but once it leaves the loom it begins a new story. My hope is that whoever wears it carries it through their own moments — the small everyday ones and the bigger ones too.

Because cloth has a wonderful way of holding onto the life that surrounds it. Over time it softens, it changes, and it becomes something personal.

Something worn. Something loved. Something remembered.

“My intention with each of these handwoven scarves is that although they reflect memories from my own childhood, they also, over time, hold memories for their own owner. That they form an heirloom to you.”​
