Cashmere shawl by Carole Waller ‘Etruscans’ A fine cashmere shawl. Welcome to my first small collection of printed scarves in fine cashmere blended with modal. Modal is made from bamboo and the blend is a lovely soft matte fabric. It is quite different from anything I have used before for scarves, and can be worn all the year round by any gender. The collection is called ‘Duomo’ and is inspired by the small scale paintings and prints I made in Italy during a residency in 2024. I spent a month in a beautiful small hilltown called Barga, dramatically situated between the Apuan Alps and the Emilian Apennine mountain tops in the Garfagnana region of northern Tuscany. This design features images of the tiny bronze figurines found in the nearby Serchio Valley in a cave – and by me in the museum alongside the Cathedral. I was fascinated by the powerful atmosphere, and by the subtlety of the change of colour and mood in the place as the sun moved around the very tall buildings and the very narrow winding lanes. At the top of the hill is the austere 12th Century Duomo di San Christoforo. The incredible and unearthly vista from the cathedral terrace made me feel completely uplifted. Meanwhile, I tried to bottle these things and paint them. The paintings can be seen here at my studio. The scarves were designed by me directly from the images so they are full of very detailed brushmarks and colour. There are six designs in an edition of 15 scarves per design. They are printed onto a lovely fine cashmere blend fabric which works summer and winter for both men and women. Find sky blue, black, greys, dashes of peach, pale grey and soft yellow in this piece which measures a generous 200 x 70cm. Wash gently by hand, or dry clean. After wearing, hang your cashmere shawl smoothly over the back of a chair to relax any creases. ‘Etruscans’ Carole Waller cashmere shawl Waller&Wood.
