Protea Plains Silk Scarf - Emerald
Inspired by the vast African landscape, the Protea Plains Silk Scarf originates from a celebrated Ardmore ceramic artwork. The design captures a moment of playful tension: a cheeky zebra teasing a spotted cat as they dance and dart through a flourishing field of protea flowers.
The protea, South Africa’s national flower, is a powerful symbol of strength, courage, and resilience—renowned for its ability to regenerate effortlessly after fire. This scarf embodies those same qualities, reflecting Ardmore’s enduring spirit and an optimism rooted in renewal, creativity, and change.
Expertly crafted in luxuriously smooth silk, the scarf is finished with hand-rolled edges, giving each piece a subtle individuality that speaks to its artisanal origins. A vibrant statement piece that brings storytelling, artistry, and timeless elegance to any wardrobe.

Care
Our handcrafted scarves are made with exceptional materials and artistry, designed to be enjoyed for years to come. The vibrant and detailed Ardmore Design print is digitally printed onto 100% silk. Natural silk fibers may show subtle slubs in the weave—these are inherent characteristics of the fabric and part of its natural beauty.
Professional dry cleaning is the recommended method to preserve the delicate silk and protect the hand-rolled edges. For gentle at-home care, scarves may be carefully hand-washed following the guidance below. To maintain the vibrancy of the print and the integrity of the fabric, avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Please follow these care guidelines:
Cleaning
- Professional dry clean recommended
- For hand-washing, use cold water and a gentle, hypoallergenic or silk-specific detergent (such as Le Blanc)
- Use color catchers when washing to help prevent color bleeding
- Spot clean stains with cold water and avoid rubbing the fabric
Drying
- Do not wring or twist
- Lay the scarf flat between clean towels to absorb moisture
- Air dry flat away from heat and direct sunlight
- Do not tumble dry
Ironing
- Cool iron only
- Use a pressing cloth and avoid direct high heat on the silk
Storage & Care
- Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in the original box
- Avoid exposure to rain, perfume, hairspray, or harsh chemicals
- Do not bleach
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to prevent fading
