Bella Notte Scarf
Meaning “Beautiful Night”, our Bella Notte print is a dramatic, evocative tribute to romance. The seated woman in the trees with her dreamy, faraway gaze was painted in 1880 by artist & poet Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and the charming rabbit comes from a much earlier painting done in 1585 by Hans Hoffman. The open book of the design reads “Many are the stars I see, yet in my eye no star like thee” — words which we took from an engraving inside the band of a gold ring made in the 1700’s, and the exquisite floral trim is from the border of a calligraphic manuscript by famed artist William Morris from the same era. Interestingly, the model for the woman in Rossetti’s painting is Jane Morris, wife to William Morris. She was a talented artist in her own right, and an enigmatic muse to both her husband and Rossetti throughout the Arts & Crafts movement.
Shown worn with our Bella Notte Slip Dress (available separately).
After so many requests from our wonderful customers, we're thrilled to introduce scarves to our lineup! We've modelled the size and weight after our favourite vintage French scarves to create chic, easy to wear designs for every day use. Wear them wrapped once around the neck, tucked in to a jacket, or tied in the hair. Crafted from soft viscose, the fabric is a lighter, airier weight than our kimonos, with the same beautifully soft feel.
100% viscose (derived from plant fibres such as wood and bamboo). Handwash, hang to dry.
68cm x 155cm.
