1450

Description

90 × 90 cm · 100% Mulberry Silk · 18 Momme · Hand-rolled edge.

In 1450, Fra Mauro, a monk who never once left his monastery , created the most detailed map of the known world, drawn entirely from the accounts of merchants, sailors and travellers who passed through his door. Commissioned by King Afonso V of Portugal. The only one of its kind in existence.

This scarf is for those who carry that same spirit. The audacity to imagine worlds beyond your own walls. The power to make them real.

Incorporating the only map of Sri Lanka published by the Lafreri school, 1570.

Drawn by hand. Finished by hand. Created for those who need no introduction. The Taprobana scarf is 350 hours of artistry worn as intention. A chromatic statement that speaks your legacy without effort.

Crafted at the UK’s oldest silk printers and hand hemmed in the Sud de France.

Each piece is numbered and accompanied by a certificate of provenance.
