A scarf is more than an accessory; it is a sculptural statement of self-expression. In this design by James T. Murray, luxurious cashmere enhances the visceral depth and richness of an abstract moment - light reflecting through a gate, captured in layers of texture and tone that come alive with every movement.

Subtle tones are used with great effect in this dense, textural painting and scarf. Mary Jones used layers of oil paint with a complex array of colours, creating its own microcosm. The softness of the fabric adds depth to this rich piece, perfect for winter.

What does a hand-rolled hem mean?⁠ ⁠ Hand-rolled hems involve the meticulous technique of manually rolling and stitching the edges of a silk scarf. ⁠ ⁠ This artisan process creates a soft, rounded finish that allows the fabric to drape with unparalleled grace - a detail that distinguishes wearable art from any machine-made.⁠ ⁠ Images: “Man Ray I” in collaboration with the Man Ray Trust⁠ Limited Edition of 60, 90cm x 90cm, 100% Fine Silk Scarf, Hand Rolled Hem⁠ Made in Italy ⁠ ⁠ Credits⁠ Model: @itsmisako ⁠ Photo: @piet.albert.goethals ⁠ #DesignerScarf #Handmade #Handcrafted #HandRolledHem #MadeinItaly #SilkScarf #SlowLuxury⁠

Nature in its most visceral state with the colours of the season.⁠ ⁠ “Ember” by James T. Murray is a dramatic close-up of a flower in intense bordeaux against a dark, mysterious background. ⁠ ⁠ Its 90cm square format makes it a versatile canvas - equally striking when worn traditionally or draped over a favourite handbag.⁠ ⁠ Explore more via our website - link in bio.⁠ ⁠ Images: “Ember”⁠ Artist: James T Murray @jamest_murray ⁠ Limited Edition of 60, 90cm x 90cm, 100% Silk Scarf ⁠ Made in Italy⁠ ⁠ Credits⁠ Model @laurencedesbisschop ⁠ Video @manuelmeurisse Music @kevinimbrechts ⁠ Direction @jessy.vandurme ⁠ ⁠ #JamesTMurray #FloralArt #SilkScarf #DesignerScarf #AlbaAmicorum #Burgundy #Bordeaux #WinterStyle⁠

While best known for his photography, Man Ray began his career as a painter. This scarf features 'Le Beau Temps' (1939), a surrealist masterpiece dominated by a harlequin figure and a patchwork of mathematical motifs.⁠ ⁠ Created as WWII was breaking out across Europe, the painting is imbued with a sense of metaphysical mystery; the harlequin stands as a silent witness to a world in transition. ⁠ ⁠ This tension between surrealist dreaming and historical reality is translated here into rich cashmere, which accentuates the painting’s mysterious composition and vivid palette, allowing the art to move and travel with the wearer.⁠ ⁠ The oeuvre of Man Ray is currently on view at the MET (@metmuseum ) in NYC until 1st February 2026.⁠ ⁠ Explore more via our website - link in bio.⁠ ⁠ Images: “Man Ray III” (Le Beau Temps, 1939) In collaboration with the Man Ray Trust⁠ Limited Edition of 20, 136cm x 136cm, 100% Cashmere Scarf⁠ Made in Italy⁠ ⁠ Credits⁠ Model: @julietburnett ⁠ Photo: @joelbenguigui_ ⁠ ⁠ #ManRay #SurrealistArt #CashmereLuxury #AlbaAmicorum #TheMet #CollectorPiece #WearableArt⁠

Have you ever worn an original artwork?⁠ ⁠ This scarf celebrates “Sleeping Woman” (1930), one of Man Ray’s "Rayographs" - unique camera-less photographs made by placing objects directly on light-sensitive paper and exposing them to light, creating dreamlike, abstract forms. ⁠ ⁠ The image featured on this scarf is Man Ray’s iconic solarised portrait of Natacha, a studio assistant who modelled for him. Repeating Natacha’s likeness in each corner, this kaleidoscopic homage creates beautiful abstract shapes and patterns in the negative space.⁠ ⁠ As the @metmuseum celebrates the artist’s legacy in the exhibition Man Ray: When Objects Dream (closing February 1st), we invite you to explore this limited-edition translation of his surrealist visions into wearable silk.⁠ ⁠ The entire Man Ray collection is available via our website - link in bio.⁠ ⁠ Image: “Man Ray II” In collaboration with the Man Ray Trust⁠ Limited Edition, 90cm x 90cm, 100% Silk Scarf⁠ Made in Italy⁠ ⁠ Credits⁠ Model: @julietburnett ⁠ Photo: @joelbenguigui_ ⁠ Music @kevinimbrechts ⁠ ⁠ #ManRay #TheMet #Surrealism #Rayograph #AlbaAmicorum #WearableArt #Museum⁠

“Etched #1” captures the shadow of a bonsai plant on wood slats in a monochromatic navy palette, reminiscent of an engraving or etching. ⁠ Translated into soft cashmere, the scarf balances subtlety and presence, making it versatile and easy to wear - from casual ensembles to elevated looks.⁠ ⁠ Image: “Etched #1” ⁠ Artist: James T Murray @jamest_murray Limited Edition of 60, 136cm x 136cm, 100% Cashmere Scarf ⁠ Made in Italy ⁠ ⁠ Each scarf is an artwork that comes in sustainable packaging and accompanied by a numbered certificate of authenticity.⁠ ⁠ Credits⁠ Model @itsmisako ⁠ Direction @jessy.vandurme Video @manuelmeurisse Music @kevinimbrechts ⁠ ⁠ #SlowFashion #CollectionSpotlight #AlbaAmicorum #CashmereScarf #MinimalistAesthetic #WearableArt⁠
