Inspiration

Festivals, rituals, and celebrations around the world use extravagant headdresses and costume to enhance ceremony, transcend the everyday, and symbolise the power of occasion and gathering. 

This collection draws inspiration from that universal tradition, with one-of-a-kind pieces designed to inspire and define your own big moments. They are truly special pieces, to wear, move with, and to treasure.

Description

The Melody Collar is handmade using beautiful vintage sari silks, organza and netting in rich pinks, oranges and turquoise, with hints of gold embroidery. Adorned with fiery gold fringe around the neckline, attached with an embroidered trim in pink and turquoise stripes. Hand plaited silk braids to tie around your neck, each one embellished with pom-poms and a vintage bell.

The collars team up beautifully with the headdresses but also stand alone to dress up any outfit and can be worn in many different ways.

Fabrics and Techniques

Each piece is an original Animalesque illustration and design, screen-printed and handmade using a rich combination of surplus theatre materials, vintage sari silks, gold trims and tassels, Indian block prints, colourful pom-poms, and with hand sewn details of sequins, beads and vintage bells.

Made in Cornwall by textile artist Sara Lowes.
