My vegan friendly silk scarves featured in Vegan Life Magazine!

I was extremely pleased when I was tagged in a post by Victoria Featherstone Pearce this week on Instagram! It turns out she has featured my cruelty-free silk alternative scarves in Vegan Life Magazin this month. Of course, I am absolutely thrilled, as I spent ages and ages trying to find a way of producing these and the easy option would have been to use real silk, however, the process they use to get real silk real is barbaric so I won’t have anything to do with that. Instead, I’ve managed to find a fabric that is almost like the real thing - soft floaty and beautiful, and man-made. I have my original artwork printed on this fabric which is then hemmed by experts and then sent out to the lucky recipient.

To celebrate this bit of welcome press coverage I have revamped my collection and added the option of a printed presentation tin to match. Have a look at the newest designs here. And if you want to have a look at the magazine, I’ve linked it in the image below!

Vegan Silk Scarves with Wildlife and Flowers

I have been thinking for a long time about producing silk scarves printed with some of my oil paintings . I don’t want to use traditional silk because the way it is produced goes against my beliefs on animal welfare. So I have sourced a vegan silk alternative and printed a small batch of scarves.

I am reallypleased with them! They are made in the UK and I package the scarves in fully recycled and recyleable gift boxes. Inside the box with the scarf, I enclose a little leaflet with the story of the original oil painting that features on the scarf.

I have chosen some of my floral designs, birds, hares, a pheasant and my ‘Party Animal’ Alpaca design (see left)

Each scarf looks different each time it is worn due to the variety of colours and random nature of where the brush strokes appear.
