✨ A beautiful scarf can bring so much to an outfit!

I’m wearing one of Jaine’s gorgeous handwoven silk scarves @jainemahon and I just love these soft blues and purples with a waterfall design, along with the way the silk catches the light and shimmers as you move

If you suit soft, muted colours, this colour combination could be a beautiful choice for you. It’s a lovely reminder that colour isn’t always about being bright or bold — softer shades can be just as beautiful

And then there’s the styling…

The length of this scarf falls below the waist without being too long
Worn loose, it creates a lovely flowing line, adding colour, texture and interest to a simple outfit.

It also offers a little extra coverage around the tummy area for anyone who might appreciate that…not because we need to hide any part of our bodies, but because having options that make us feel comfortable is always a good thing

Do you love soft, muted colours, or are you more drawn to bright, bold shades?

The average piece of fast fashion is worn just seven times before it’s thrown away. In an industry built on speed and disposability, every scarf, jumper, shirt, dress and accessory in this year’s wearable craft line-up is made slowly, by hand, in small batches, by people who’ve spent years mastering their craft.

Knitwear, weaving, natural dyeing, techniques passed down, practised and perfected over years, each piece carrying a little of the hands that made it, nothing here is disposable.

Which of these would you wear on repeat?

Quietly rebellious and fearless with colour, @jainemahon defies convention through silk.

Working on a traditional floor loom on the remote Isle of Skye, she disguises classical weaving structures with audacious, shimmering colour—each thread individually hand-dyed, each scarf a singular work of wearable art.

Rooted in a lineage that stretches back to her Huguenot ancestors, silk weavers in London’s East End, Jaine’s practice is the result of a decades-long quest to reclaim her making heritage.

With over 35 years devoted to her craft, she creates iridescent, richly pigmented silk scarves and sculptural pieces using Japanese Arashi Shibori.

We are delighted to welcome Jaine Mahon as a Crafted100 maker. Discover her exquisite one-off scarves via her website jainemahon.co.uk
