Painted Scarf

Classic lightweight scarf and elegant colour combinations - a timeless go-to for a quick accent.

These scarves are made in collaboration with the art, design and textile studio Calica Studio, made up of two female, Canadian artists Meghan Macdonald (Halifax) and Rebecca Horwitz (Toronto). Calica creates surface designs for textiles using found materials, photographs, drawings and paintings.

These scarf designs began as watercolour paintings, many Calica designs begin using traditional art materials before moving into a digital format. Meghan and Rebecca then scanned the paintings, and began working on them digitally, making adjustments to the watercolours and formatting the designs to be printed scarves. Like the Poko collection, each Calica design has a story to tell, which made this creative collaboration centered around friendship, such a natural fit with the Poko community.
