Somerville Scarves

Many years ago, having received a beautiful Hermes scarf as a birthday present, I decided to make scarves myself. I pasted stars and flowers from magazines, books and wallpaper on a square background and found someone in India who made up ten samples based on my designs. Amazingly, they came back just as I’d imagined. I took them to a trade show in 2007, pegged up on a washing line and got about a dozen orders from shops. After a couple of years, I moved into cashmere, focusing on neutrals with a star print — now bestsellers. Since then I've developed the collection to include beanies, bobble hats, loungewear, socks and bags too! Sally x
