A World on Silk
A scarf is never just a surface. It is a place where a story begins.
Each design starts as a hand-drawn world – inhabited by animals, symbols and imagined narratives, carefully composed before becoming something to wear.
Not created to follow trends, but to build a world of its own, each piece forms part of a wider visual language – where composition, colour and detail come together with intention.
Illustrated in the UK and crafted in Italy, every scarf reflects a balance between artistic expression and material precision. Created for those drawn to meaning, detail and quiet distinction.
Ilona Tambor
Ilona Tambor is a silk artist and creative director based in the UK. Drawing has always been at the centre of her practice, shaping the way she observes and composes the world.
She later completed a Master of Arts degree in Krakow, where her approach to detail, balance and storytelling became more defined.
Her work evolved into textiles, allowing illustration to move beyond paper and take on a new dimension. Each design begins by hand before being translated into silk. Her first collection was introduced in 2020 and later featured in Condé Nast Traveller.
Today, she works from her studio in Leicester, where each design still begins in the same way – with a line.
Illustration, silk and craftsmanship, shaped into pieces made to be worn and remembered.
