A luxurious silk scrunchie featuring 'ABERDEEN'. Inspired by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) imagery of a sand sample collected at Aberdeen beachfront. This amazing piece of technology can view sand grains at one thousandth of a millimetre. April combined the monochrome SEM images with a colour palette from the day she collected the sand to create this beautiful moody blue and sandy beige textile. The coordinates featured are where the sand was collected.
Made from super soft 100% silk satin, these are curly hair friendly and comfortable to wear in all types of hair. Silk has a wide range of benefits for the hair, including less breakage and frizz thanks to it's smooth, frictionless surface.
The silk has been sustainably printed in the UK on the same base as my decadent silk scarves. Handmade by me in my studio in Glasgow. Composition: 100% Silk, do not wash.
'ABERDEEN' Silk Scrunchie
This textile is part of the Tall Ships Collection, a project inspired by sand samples from the stops along the Tall Ship Race Route. April was one of 6 makers selected by Aberdeen Art Gallery to develop a body of work celebrating the Tall Ships Race returning to Aberdeen. Each Tall Ships Collection piece comes with its own limited edition label explaining the collection, and is currently only available through Aberdeen Art Gallery or in limited numbers from the Agate & Ayre webstore. Take a piece of the beach home!
At Agate & Ayre, we take the utmost pride in handmaking our range of textile accessories. Everything is sewn by April from her own studio. Because of this - please allow for slight variations from product to product. This in no way reflects the quality or functionality of the items.
When digitally printing on natural fabrics such as silk, there may be extremely small variations in colour from batch to batch, however we do everything we can to minimise this risk.
