This scarf is based on contemporary Armenian film director Sergei Parajanov’s collage “Variation with shell on themes by Pinturicchio and Raphael” (1989).

“Urbatagirk” (The Book of Friday), which is the first Armenian printed book, holds an important value in Armenian culture. In medieval ages, people believed in its healing power. The book was also used as a talisman to protect from the evil eye. Some jewelry was also considered as a talisman. By combining this tradition with the elegant Armenian jewelry, we created “Talisman Shawl,” which is intended to give power and strength to its bearer.
