Bella Notte Bamboo Scarf
Bella Notte Bamboo 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.
Crafted from soft viscose, the fabric is a lighter, airier weight than our kimonos, with the same beautifully soft feel. They make a wonderful gift too!
Pure bamboo / wood viscose.
