Sarah Swan Cruise Collection Maps Out New Direction
Sarah Swan Cruise Collection Maps Out New Direction Irish Designer’s Latest Scarves Collection.
Travelling in winter makes sense on so many levels, and Sarah Swan’s gorgeous new cruise collection of oversized cashmere modal scarves points to the direction our travels might take us!
The Dublin designer, who loves to travel and draws much of her inspiration from exotic locations, has produced five creative and covetable new designs in her latest collection that is uniquely inspired by different styles of a map.
La Mer Antique is an antique sea map in camel and soft green tones; while the captivating North Atlantic Ocean print sees rich blue-green hues dominate. The Caribbean Seas print beautifully captures a multi-coloured palate from warm red, orange and purple tones to cooler greys and blues.
On land, the vibrant London Vector map literally pops with strong primary colours; and the Paris Metro print reflects the understated elegance of the style Capital it signals. These oversized printed scarves are ideal for travelling, as part of a capsule cruise-collection, and as a striking multi-seasonal style statement.
Casually wrapped or tied elegantly with a belt, Sarah Swan scarves are an invaluable travel companion, providing warmth, comfort and elegance on a journey. Stylish and functional, they serve as a multi-purpose sarong, a stylish wrap, and an elegant accessory.
The super-fine digitally-printed scarves are produced in Italy in limited-edition small quantities using 20 percent cashmere and 80 percent modal. The fun colours and global destinations in Swan’s latest Italian-made cruise collection evoke the adventure of travelling, the designer feels. “All of my designs are intended as an expression of individuality, and this new collection reflects individual taste in global travel and the freedom to explore” Sarah Swan says.
The designer, who has worked in London, Paris and Italy, featured in the Irish designers’ CREATE showcase in Brown Thomas with her evocative Cuba Havana collection. Her design mission, she says, is to create original and authentic luxury scarves that are a joy to wear, and, at a very practical level, are the perfect soft travel item.
Sarah Swan trained as an interior designer and art historian, and her creative vision produces uniquely artistic fashion pieces that are timeless keepsakes and ultimately beautiful. Sarah Swan Dublin scarves retail at €249 and are available from leading fashion retailers on the east coast including Havana, Donnybrook, Dublin 4; Emporium Kalu in Naas; Clothes Peg, Sutton; Blue Boutique, Blackrock; JUJU, Greystones,
