A voice becomes a dreamer, longing for distant ports, jeweled nights, forbidden pleasures. Not a tale of survival, but of desire unmoored, where words shimmer more than plot. Every design starts as Aubrey's own artwork. The silk twill is woven in China, the home of silk; each scarf is then printed and hemmed by hand in Bangkok, with his signature in the print. ## Ways to wear it - **At the neck**Fold into a long band and knot loosely at the front or side. - **In the hair**As a headscarf, or folded narrow and tied around a ponytail. - **On a bag**Tied to the handle, so the color shows from across the room. - **As a top**Folded into a triangle and knotted behind the neck and back. ## How this design began Part of his opera series, designed for Capella Hanoi, the hotel near the Hanoi Opera House that celebrates the fin de siècle and everything opera.
