Black square ginkgo and gold feathers patchwork scarf

Black, ginkgo, mid-century swirls and abstract leaves in 140 x 140 cm

Where the Liberty-archive ginkgo print typically reads transitional (over a navy trench, with a quilted jacket), this 140 x 140 cm square patchwork pushes the same vocabulary into the evening register. The dominant face is a deep matte black scattered with small gold-foil feather prints, treated as a constellation rather than a busy overall pattern. A second face carries the ginkgo leaf itself, this time as a watercolour wash in mid-blue and turquoise on a light ivory ground, looser and more painterly than the typical Liberty silk print. A third face is a mid-century circular swirl in turquoise, ochre and dusty rose, a graphic counterweight that lifts the look out of pure black. The fourth face is an abstract leaf composition in muted plum and grey, the calm bridge between the swirl and the deep black centre. Black tassels at the four corners, fine gold-thread overlock along the perimeter.

The black ginkgo for the evening wardrobe

The black-dominant build positions this scarf differently from the standard navy or jewel-tone Liberty-style scarf: it works as evening drape rather than daytime accessory. Worn as a shawl with the black-and-gold-feathers face forward, it gives a discreet glitter under candle and street light over a long black wool coat or a velvet blazer. Folded with the ginkgo watercolour face out, it brings the blue-turquoise lift that lets the scarf coordinate with a navy or grey outfit. The mid-century swirl face works best as a graphic-led front for a more festival or art-event look, and the abstract leaf face sits in the calm middle, useful for office days when the gold feathers feel too dressy. The 140 cm format takes any of these readings without trimming the tassels.

Styling: long black coat, velvet blazer, navy knit, grey wool dress

Long black coat + gold-feathers face forward: the canonical evening drape for a winter night out. Velvet blazer + swirl face forward: the gallery-opening or cocktail-event pairing where the turquoise lifts a black blazer. Navy knit + ginkgo watercolour face forward: the day-to-evening transition where the blue tones bridge the navy. Grey wool dress + abstract leaf face forward: the calm office-friendly drape. Wider scarf ranges: four-sided scarves, square scarves, scarves.
