THE MEMORY SCARF

Amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday existence and in a world that is predominantly lived online, a tangible memory keepsake is now even more important than ever.

The Memory Scarf by the House of Ferguson is a unique and truly intimate luxurious keepsake that can be passed down through many generations.

The Memory Scarf is a concept developed between sisters Pip Rooke & Jane Soutter in collaboration with a passionate Australian textile artist from the Byron Bay Region who has over 45 years' experience working with plant material and natural dyes. These beautiful scarves, derived from foliage and flowers from significant life events, naturally preserve memories into a textile that can be cherished forever.

Each scarf draws on the beauty of nature following the technique of ancient Japanese plant dyeing, and each one is a unique, hand-crafted, and timeless piece of art 'signed by nature'. The process is environmentally friendly and chemical-free creating a truly sustainable heirloom to treasure forever.

"Whether it be flowers from a wedding, flowers from the garden of a loved one, flowers from a celebration of life, or flowers that we source for you, transferring sentimental flowers onto the finest pure silk or cashmere fabrics creates a treasured heirloom," said Pip.

"Several pieces can be created from a single arrangement or from a selection of foliage and flowers from your garden."

"Losing a loved one is a very difficult and emotional time, and The Memory Scarf is perfect for people wanting a meaningful reminder and keepsake. 

"Several families have purchased The Memory Scarf for their parents who were moving out of their family home into care.  It's very sad for elderly people to leave a garden that they had loved and nurtured every day, but The Memory Scarf means they can take a little bit of it with them, and treasure those beautiful colourful memories," Pip said. 

Other customers who have purchased The Memory Scarf for themselves or loved ones, have been delighted with their keepsake -

"Thank you for creating such a beautiful scarf! It was such a joy opening that box when it arrived. The details of the foliage and petals was fantastic to see on the silk. So much love and effort was put into it. What an amazing keepsake that I can cherish for years to come. Thank you Jane for your advice and assistance, it was a pleasure from the start. Thank you again for this lovely memory." Christiana

"I received my beautiful scarf, thank you. It's just stunning and will be a family heirloom for years to come, hopefully I'll be able to pass down to my daughter some day! Many thanks again!" Jodi

"I wanted to send a note to say how much I love the scarves! I gave the square one to my mum today as a gift, and it made her teary! For both of us they will be a very special reminder."  Marina

The Memory Scarf can be purchased as a full-size scarf in either Silk or Cashmere fabric (square or rectangle shape) or as a pocket square.  To personalise the scarf even further you can also add initials.

The Memory Scarf is not an 'off the shelf' keepsake, it's something that has true meaning and can be handed down from generation to generation.
