Bärbel Dressler: Toile Valentine Design Inspiration
Idea and Inspiration behind the design
Introducing the Toile Valentine Silk Scarf, a creation by artist and designer Bärbel Dressler. This exquisite pattern draws inspiration from the 18th-century Toile de Jouy style, known for its romantic countryside scenes.
Delve into the scarf, and you'll find an 18th-century love story in three scenes: a chance meeting in a town square, a flirtatious picnic in a meadow, and starlit dreams of a shared future. These scenes were inspired by Bärbel's travels in Scotland, where she explored cobblestone alleys in Edinburgh and the beauty of Loch Lomond.
Knowing the story and inspiration behind this pattern adds depth to your Prinz Berlin silk scarf, making it more than just an accessory—it's a piece of art and a timeless tale of love and beauty.
