Batik Damask
Introducing this seasons key accessory - the Monarch Andikra Symbol Scarf. It is generously sized and fully reversible, has styling versatility and made in a beautiful batik woven damask cotton. The Adinkra embroidered symbols that adorn the scarves are deeply rooted in Ghanian traditional symbology and resonate individually with the wearer. The scarf can be styled with our Monarch Pants and Monarch Shirt for a stand out Matching Set and a regal, extraordinary ensemble. 
This collection is the epitome of slow fashion- where each textile print is considered and  designed and cut individually by hand to enhance the garment’s form and overall aesthetic. The collection is constructed by one master machinist and then embellished by a Ghanian tailor. 

Each scarf combination is different and variants and are always in limited edition. One side is embroidered and holds 6 unique symbols per scarf. All symbol placements differ.

 

• Fully reversible 
• Contrast print on either side 
• 6 unique symbols per scarf 
• Limited edition 


The Monarch Collection is a unique limited edition capsule collection of wearable pieces that is the brainchild of Lisa Jaffe- Guillotine and Gina Waldman- Waldman Studios.
 
Limited quantities of vibrant printed batik from Nigeria were the initial source of inspiration. No two printed fabric panels in this soft damask weave are the same and are unique because of the hand dyed quality of traditional artisans. 
The MONARCH collection comprises of:

 

1. Matching Set - shirt and pants 
2. ⁠Andikra Symbol Scarf
3. ⁠Jumpsuit
4. Andikra Reversible Belt

All BATIK fabrics used are unique, handmade, handprinted, 100% cotton, with a fine weave which makes them all very beautiful. Any imperfections are intentional due to the hand-printing of this fabric.
