Nice to meet you!


It was very nice to meet you at the 2018 Sanlam Handmade Contemporary Fair last weekend - thank you very much for visiting our Mantua Silkwear stand! I really enjoyed meeting so many enthusiasts for local, handmade design, arts and crafts. As it was our first time at the show we particularly valued your appreciation of our colourful silk scarves and loved hearing your comments about our summer range.

Please stay connected, let us know about new ideas for our range and custom designs. We are more than happy to receive your requests for hand-painted scarves and special gifts - from small handkerchiefs to kimonos or dresses. Just drop me a line and I will be in touch. Your input is valuable to us and will be much appreciated.

Do take a look at our website and online shop: Apart from the current SS '18/'19 range, we feature many styling ideas for wearing a silk scarf, as well as caring tips, latest fashion trends and some background on the making and designing of Mantua scarves. Here are two stories from our blog you might enjoy reading:
 
Art & Fashion

Mantua scarves are inspired by the collision of fashion and art: I am a definite fan of American post-war Expressionism and draw inspiration from icons such as Helen Frankenthaler, Georgia O'Keeffe, Mary Katrantzou and Majia Isola to name but a few. Find out more...
 
Silky Secrets

Have you ever heard of Mommes and hand-rolled hems? No? You may want to check out our story about how silk is weighed and hems are made by hand to give scarves the most discrete finish. It's all in the detail.
