The Silk scarf “Still life in blue” is inspired by travels to Armenia’s open-air market in hot summer with an abundance of handmade craftsmanship deepened by coffee aromas in narrow alleys, sun-kissed fruits ripened under the generous rays. It’s influenced by the hospitality of the people, where the guests are welcomed, the wine is poured from the clay goat so the feast can begin.

These versatile scarves are crafted in the finest silk and feature a synthesis of contrasting colours, with vibrant and fresh hues, ideal for a stroll around the market sipping an ice-tea in a hot summer afternoon.

Based on an original Still life in acrylics on canvas.

Armenian illuminated manuscripts date from the Golden Age of Armenian art and literature in the 5th century. With their elaborate designs these manuscripts were not only a means for artistic expression, but exemplified the ever-present importance of religious awareness during that time. To signify the close relationship of this art form with that of the spiritual experience, excerpts from the esteemed “Book of Lamentations” of St. Gregory of Narek are arranged with the lettering taken from Armenian manuscript work and adorned with motifs from these manuscripts. They attempt to breathe new life into the remarkable ancient masterpieces of Armenian art and literature.

This scarf is made of 100% silk.

Queens have played proactive and vital roles throughout the Armenian history. They have not only been the faithful spouses and close supporters of the kings but often their worthy advisors. Armenian wise and prudent queens were highly influential in the critical periods of the country’s history. They advocated causes such as women’s education, freedom, and equality, even in the middle ages. Additionally, they were the primary promoters of cultural values. Ardēan designed shawls with Armenian ornaments and slices from St. Gregory of Narek’s prayers to embody the spirit of our queens’ nobility and splendor.
