One can never have too many scarves, especially when packing for a summer get-away, so I welcome British artist Bex Parkin’s beautiful new collection of 100% silk scarves in her tropical illustrated style.

Bex is well known for her prints of exotic jungles and
animals, often with botanical elements, using luxury fabrics with her bold, colourful illustrations.

The idea for the new collection came from wanting to provide an
alternative to traditional scarves with fun patterns juxtaposed with quirky
images, sometimes seemingly random patterns, other times in symmetrical arrangements.

As a freelance illustrator and designer, based in rural
Staffordshire, Bex had previously worked in various artistic jobs in London but
it was her work sourcing vintage and antique textiles for the fashion industry
that really sparked off her love of print, pattern and colour. Bex is also happy to take on commission work.
Each scarf is made in the UK and measures 63cm square and comes in a gift box with a giclee
print of the design inside, all available on her website.
