Wildheart Bohemian Scarf w/ Florals, Unicorn & Castle Print
Market of Stars modelled the size and weight after their favourite vintage French scarves to create chic, easy to wear designs for every day use. Crafted from viscose, the fabric is a lighter, airier weight than our kimonos, with the same beautifully soft feel. Love is enough. Introducing Wildheart — a celebration of love in its truest form: untamed, devoted, and freely chosen. Created from a richly layered collage of historic tapestries spanning the 1400s through the 1700s, this lush print gathers verdant French landscapes, medieval banners, castle borders, and woven gardens from across centuries. At its heart is the beloved Unicorn Rests in a Garden tapestry, one of the most enduring and romantic images in medieval art. Here, the mythic unicorn — long a symbol of the untamable — rests quietly within a garden enclosure. Though collared, the buckle is loose; though fenced, the boundary is low. The unicorn could leave if she wished, and yet she stays — a wild thing held not by hands, but by the heart. The banners that frame our design, drawn from an antique tapestry, bear the words in English and Latin: No hand may keep a wild thing / Nulla manus ferum retinet Yet the heart may hold it / Cor tamen id tenet The rich trim of the print carries the phrase Love is Enough, reconstructed from gilded lettering found in a Flemish painting from the 1500s — a quiet nod to the enduring belief, later embraced as a motto by artist William Morris, that love itself is both sustenance and shelter. Wildheart is our ode to love that honours freedom, cherishes wildness, and understands that what is chosen freely is what will always endure. 100% viscose (derived from plant fibres such as wood and bamboo). Handwash, hang to dry. 68cm x 155cm.
