The story leaves the page.
A drawing finds its way into the fold of a collar. A remembered colour goes out into the afternoon. The scarf acquires a life of its own.
Ways to wear silk
Inside the collection
The Thackray Botanical Collection
A garden offers more stories than its owner can reasonably take credit for. Bees arrive on their own business. Ivy works along the fence. After dark, the flowers appear to have changed their positions.
Explore botanical silk scarves drawn from close observation, childhood gardens and imagined places. Each design has its own writing and artwork; follow the one that makes you stop.
Explore all silk scarves. For help choosing or arranging a gift, contact Thackray. Please check the delivery terms for your occasion.
For a darker ground, begin with The Garden After Dark. For a narrow format with a poem on the reverse, explore Where Quiet Grows. Our choosing guide considers shape, colour and the way a scarf is worn.
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.
