“The Book Of Friday” Cashmere Scarf
“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.

“Armenian Words” Silk Scarf
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.

Thanks to his efforts, the first Armenian Bible was published in 1666. The book that was used for the translation was the Biblical copy of Hetum King of Cilicia, which was written in 1295.
