Before there were books, there were stories. Told by firelight, passed between generations, worn smooth by repetition until only the essential remained. Folk tales are the oldest form of human knowledge, not history, not instruction, but something closer to truth.
This scarf begins with one of them.
A bear is caught in a net. He thrashes, exhausts himself, and falls asleep. While he sleeps, a mouse scurries across his great body. The bear catches it. The mouse pleads: let me go, and I will repay you one day. The bear laughs, what could something so small ever offer him? But he lets it go.
Later, the mouse returns with an entire flock. Together they gnaw through every rope until the bear walks free.
The moral is ancient and undiminished: do not mistake smallness for insignificance.
Stars, a crescent moon, a sun with a face, these float through the composition as if the story is happening in mythic time rather than linear time. They are the feeling of a story told at night, in a world where the sky still meant something. Where time moved differently. Where a mouse could save a bear and no one thought it impossible.
The whole composition is held inside a checkerboard border of terracotta and blush, a frame that knows it is a frame. A threshold between the everyday and the mythic. Cross it, and you are somewhere else.
Folk art was never gallery art. It lived on bodies, on walls, on everyday objects, embroidered aprons, painted chests, printed textiles. By putting this work on a scarf, it stays true to that original logic: art that is worn, touched, carried, used. Not framed behind glass.

There is a particular quality to a Sicilian summer. The light is dense, almost heavy. It settles on things, on lemon groves and stone columns, on ceramic tiles and still water, and seems to make them more themselves.
For this wrapping paper, we wondered if we could capture such a summer. Its colours, its heat, the particular stillness of a Sicilian afternoon.
At the centre of it all sits the lemon. Not lemons in general, but a specific one. The Femminello Siracusano, a variety grown on this island almost all year round. Its skin is thick and fragrant. Its scent is sharper and cleaner than most, carrying something of the salt air it grows beside.
From the lemon groves, the eye moves to the towns. Sciacca. Caltagirone. In both, the tradition of tin-glazed ceramic runs deep, painted in the blues and yellows that seem to answer the landscape they come from. These tiles appear on walls, on floors, on staircases climbing from harbour to hilltop.
And then the columns. The Corinthian kind, carved with acanthus leaves, standing in fields where wild herbs grow between the stones. Ancient and unhurried. Sicily carries its history lightly, folded into the ordinary rhythms of the place.
We wanted to gather these things together. The lemon, the tile, the column. Not as decoration, but as a kind of memory of a particular afternoon, when the heat settled, and everything smelled of citrus, and the Mediterranean sat still and dark beyond the grove.
Lemons of Sicily is the perfect wrapping for a summer occasion. Hold it and you can almost feel the Sicilian sun on your skin, and catch, just faintly, the scent of lemons on the air.
