This beautiful Crêpe de chine silk scarf is designed by artist Sara Shamma, whose Bold Spirits display exhibited at Dulwich Picture Gallery 2023. The scarf is handmade by refugee women in London.

Sara Shamma was born in Damascus, Syria in 1975. The Syrian civil war has since influenced her portraits and the way she looks at death and humanity. She mainly works from photographs or life, using oil paints. Shamma’s work represents the impact of grief and deep internal emotions around the theme of death and humanity. Her work is further developed through looking at the refugee crisis and the psychological impacts of human trafficking as a result of the Syrian civil war.

Each scarf comes with a numbered Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist. Limited edition of 60.
Packaged in box with handmade sleeve made from lifejacket material.

Dimensions: 90 x 90cm

Preserve the beauty of your silk by storing it flat and untied. Avoid contact with rain, water, and other chemicals. Do not iron and entrust it to a professional dry cleaner when needed.
