A Scarf Full of Stories: Art, Heritage & Colour at Moda de la Maria

Some designs speak. Others sing.

One winter morning, while visiting Westminster Abbey, I looked up and felt completely overwhelmed by the beauty surrounding me. The stained-glass windows, the arches, and the light falling through the centuries-old stone whispered a story. That moment inspired me to create something timeless, delicate, and vibrant: the Westminster Silk Scarf.

Every detail in the scarf is drawn from that experience—bold colours that reflect the glass, soft swirls inspired by gothic curves, and a spirit of quiet strength. I designed it for women who carry beauty and history in their stride. Because that’s what style is: not just what you wear, but what you carry with you.

The Secret Power of a Silk Scarf

Silk scarves have long been one of fashion’s most beloved accessories — and for good reason. They're versatile, elegant, and have the magical ability to transform even the simplest outfit. Drape it over your shoulders, wrap it around your hair, or tie it to your handbag. It’s one piece, infinite style.

But more than that, a silk scarf can be a keepsake. A memory, a little piece of wearable art.

How to Care for Your Silk Treasure

To keep your scarf vibrant and soft for years to come, treat it with a little extra love:

• Hand wash gently in cold water with mild soap. No rubbing, just a light swirl.

• Air dry flat on a towel, away from direct sunlight.

• Store it flat or rolled, never hung, to protect the weave.

• Steam, never iron. Steaming preserves the shape and keeps the colours glowing.

When you wear the Westminster Scarf, you’re not just accessorising — you’re telling a story. One of inspiration, emotion, and timeless beauty.

At Moda de la Maria, each piece is made with deep care and meaning. It’s not about trends — it’s about soul. And that’s what I want you to feel every time you wear something I’ve created.

With love and colour,
