In the old Chinese flower calendar, each month of the year answers to a bloom, a way of marking time by what is in flower rather than by dates. This series gives that calendar to silk: twelve designs, one flower to a month, printed on lustrous mulberry silk so a whole year of gardens can be carried on the shoulders. Each scarf holds its own month, and together they turn the seasons into cloth.
Key Features
- The twelve-flower calendar: each design is the flower of a month, from plum blossom in the first month to narcissus in the twelfth, a complete year of blooms across the series.
- 100% mulberry silk in 12-momme plain crêpe satin (素绉缎): lustrous and smooth with a dense, refined weave, light and breathable against the skin.
- Generous rectangular proportion: 170 x 50cm, long enough to drape, wrap, or knot.
- Fluid, weightless drape: the silk falls softly and moves with you, cool in warmer weather and elegant year round.
- Neatly finished edges: cleanly hemmed for a refined finish.
The Twelve Months

- April: Peony

How to Wear
At 170 x 50cm, this silk scarf wears many ways. Loop it at the neck, drape it long over the shoulders, tie it through the handle of a bag, or fold it as a hair scarf. Choose your own month, a birth month, or an anniversary, and let the flower carry the meaning.
A Gift Ready to Give
This series arrives in a special red presentation box styled after traditional palace doors, finished with gold door-stud detailing and lion-head ring pulls. Red is the colour of celebration in Chinese tradition, and paired with a meaningful month this makes a considered gift for weddings, the Lunar New Year, birthdays, and other milestones, ready to give as it is.

Packs down into nothing. Perfect for travel.
Ive even tied it as a sarong over trousers. So many ways to wear it.
The length is generous. Wraps twice with room to spare.
Wore it over a black top in a cold cafe and it was just enough. Light but not useless.
feels cool to the touch, proper silk
Arrived boxed and undamaged.
Long and light. Very easy to wear.
Lovely quality and the box is a proper gift box.
Falls beautifully. Pairs well with satin.
Print detail is excellent, the fine lines are all clean.
Wears well as a simple neck scarf for work. Understated.
Big enough to open right out. Lovely when the breeze catches it.
The pale green and pink together is such a pretty combination.
Opening the box was half the pleasure. Beautifully done.
Works beautifully with a scarf ring. Holds its shape when you thread it through.
The gift box is really something. Bought it for my mother in law and she was thrilled.
Very pretty print and lovely silk. It creases a little from folding, needs a gentle steam when it arrives.
Elegant. Makes a plain outfit look considered.
the pink is gorgeous. so pretty
Ive worn it as a headscarf, a neck scarf and a shawl. Three ways from one piece.
Long enough to wrap and still hang down the front. Lovely length.
Covers the shoulders and back properly. Good size for a shawl.
its bigger than i thought, can wear it so many ways
The way it falls over the arm is beautiful. Really elegant drape.
Folds down to nothing. I keep it in the car for when it gets cool.
Wore it under a hat for sun cover and it did the job perfectly.
Feels lovely against the neck. No scratchiness at all.
Soft enough to wear over bare arms at home. Very comfortable.
Boxes are lovely, bought a few as gifts.
I wore this over a white dress at my cousins wedding and several people asked about it. It sits beautifully over bare shoulders without sliding off, and it packed into my clutch afterwards when the evening warmed up. Genuinely the most useful thing I have bought this year.
Well boxed and arrived quickly.
The blossom print is lovely. The celadon is slightly greener in person than online, worth knowing, though I dont mind it.
The presentation box is beautiful. Red with little gold studs.
Wore it with a hat in the sun and stayed cool. Great for summer.
Knots really easily and holds the knot, which not all silk does.
The colours are muted in the best way. Nothing garish about it.
the print is beautiful, so delicate
Light as anything. Perfect for warm weather when you still want a cover up.
Love how it moves. So fluid.
