Inside the collection

Silk scarf gifts for mothers and grandmothers

Family stories are often kept by someone who does not think of herself as their keeper. She remembers the house, the journey and what everyone was wearing.

These scarves draw on that attentive world, as well as gardens, animals and ordinary pleasures. Choose for her own taste; the family connection will find its place.

For Christmas, read The Gifts We Kept, or begin with the Christmas scarf edit.

Before you choose

Which scarf size should I choose?

The square scarves measure 90 × 90 cm; the narrow silk twilly measures 88 × 6 cm. A square offers more ways to fold and drape, while the twilly makes a slender tie or an accent for a bag. See our scarf size guide and check the individual product details.

What does an edition of five mean?

There are five pieces of each design. The edition describes the total number, rather than the number currently available. Each product page carries the story, material, dimensions and edition details.

How is my scarf presented, and when will it arrive?

Your scarf comes in the Thackray lime-green box. Delivery is one month from ordering. If you are choosing for a particular date, write to the house before ordering and read the delivery terms.
