Morris Natural Mix Silk Habotai Scarf

DESIGNER'S NOTES A refined Fox & Chave silk habotai scarf that harmonises several classic patterns by William Morris into a single design; the Hammersmith, Wandle and Apple designs by Morris in muted colour variations. During his lifetime, William Morris transformed Victorian design by advocating craftsmanship, integrity of materials and the integration of beauty into everyday objects, challenging industrial mass production and ornate eclecticism. His wallpapers, textiles and furniture drew on medieval, Gothic and natural motifs, influencing interiors, architecture and decorative arts across Britain and beyond. He also promoted socialism and public appreciation of art, linking aesthetics with moral and social ideals. In the twentieth century, Morris's work experienced revival through the Arts and Crafts movement, inspiring designers in Europe, North America and Japan to value handwork, material honesty and historic precedent. His emphasis on pattern, rhythm and natural forms continues to resonate in contemporary design, from textiles to digital graphics. COLOURS 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.
