Age of Reason: deliciously naughty pocket squares - Made in Britain

Sunday, 14 October 2012

Browsing round the Best of Britannia exhibition recently I came across Ali Mapletoft and her Age of Reason silk scarves and pocket squares. Each is designed by Ali using coloured inks on watercolour paper. These images are then transferred to high quality silk and each piece is finished by a skilled seamstress. The designs are striking and all have more than a little humour, mischief and, some, a naughty (but nice) streak.


These wonderful British-designed silk squares are real works of art and are available online here and at various stockists (including the Tate shop) in a variety of sizes (the pocket squares are 45cm square). A fun alternative to the usual polka dot or paisley-design pocket square.
