A luxurious silk scrunchie featuring 'KRISTIANSAND'. An exciting, colourful textile inspired by thin section imagery. The thin section was created by technician Iona Copely of the University of Aberdeen by filing the sample down to a very thin slice - this allowed us to investigate the optical properties of the sample through cross polarised light. I think thin section imagery is absolutely outstanding and after the success of my Granite thin section design, I’m very excited to have worked with this type of scientific imagery again.
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.
'KRISTIANSAND' 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.
