See the piecesWhat makes it wearable art
- The art comes first. Every print starts as the artist's own drawing, photograph or painting, with the artist's signature in the print.
- On both sides. The squares are printed on both sides, so the picture shows wherever the silk falls.
- Made to last. 18 momme silk twill, with the squares' hems rolled by hand.
- On the wall, too. A framed 90 cm square hangs like a print. See them framed · How to frame one.
Kimono jackets
A painting to wear open over a plain top: the print runs across the front, back and sleeves.

Questions
What is wearable art?
Clothing and accessories made as works of art, where the design is the point. The idea grew in the United States from the 1960s, when artists began treating clothes as a canvas.
Is a silk scarf wearable art?
It is when the print is an artist's own work: a drawing, a photograph or a painting made into a design, with the artist's signature in the print.
Can I frame one?
Yes. A 90 cm square framed behind UV-filtering glass makes a wall piece. How to frame a silk scarf.
What are they made of?
18 momme silk twill. The squares are printed on both sides with hand-rolled hems.
Are these limited editions?
Yes. Every piece is unique and a limited edition, and nothing is ever mass produced: there is no run. Each piece is made to order, in collaboration with the artist, and finished by hand.
How long does delivery take?
Every piece is made to order and finished by hand, and dispatched in 2 to 3 weeks, then delivered 7 to 10 days later by tracked shipping (US $30, UK £24, Europe €28, UAE AED 110, elsewhere $35 per order). We ship worldwide.
Can I return it?
Yes, within 14 days of delivery if it's unworn and in its original packaging. Returns go back to the maker, so return postage is international; you pay the return postage, and we refund the price of the piece once it arrives. Returns in full.
