Archaeolepis (n) - the earliest known ancestor of butterflies and moths.
This print is inspired by antiquarian moth collections - taking care to record and preserve everything from giant Death's Head moths to the common peppered moth, this print features over one hundred hand-drawn pencil moths on a textured watercolour background, with a bright chartreuse border. The design is then digitally printed onto luxurious pure, silk satin in the UK.
Measuring 90 x 10 cm with pointed ends, Skinny Minnies are the ultimate versatile fashion accessory. Designed as an affordable alternative to our silk scarves, these bright, fun Minnies pack a punch. They make perfect hair bands and can be worn tied around the head or up in a bow, and are comfy enough to be worn all day with no nasty wires. Switch up your look by changing them over into a neck tie, wear it as a luxurious choker, or why not tie it around your wrist as a bracelet? Once you are done they fold up weightlessly to be stored in your bag, or tie it around the handles for a statement handbag accessory. The possibilities are limitless!
Skinny Minnies are packaged in a hand-embossed gift box that you can keep them in, which also makes them perfect for gifting.
Dimensions: 90 x 10cm
