I DREAM IN FLOWERS

A riotous, painterly celebration of art and the natural world, this exquisite scarf is all at once romantic, ethereal, and so, so cool. Inspired by the romance of European flower markets, we created this airy piece using a masterful oil painting from the early 1600’s by artist Jan Brueghel, and an ink drawing of bumblebees we found in a Victorian insect encyclopedia. Heighten your wardrobe with the look of a treasured vintage piece that will never go out of style.

EARTH & SKY

One of our favourite ways to pass the time on a warm, summer afternoon is just lie in the grass and look up at the clouds through the branches of the beautiful old trees that border our headquarters here at Market of Stars. Earth and sky was created out of a deep appreciation for rare afternoons like these — full of wise ancient trees, and wide open skies! Painted in the late 1800’s by british artist charles aston, the palette is a dreamy and meditative play of textures and colours from the natural world.

LAND OF PLENTY

Pastoral landscapes, a delightfully pretty palette, and touches of vintage charm — welcome to the land of plenty! We combined a tree-filled farm landscape from drenthe province in the netherlands by painter egbert van drielst with a cross-stitch sampler of a floral vine from the same era by an anonymous artist to create this beautiful scarf. Finally, we added the word “peace” to the border. So lovely, airy, and whimsical!

FRIENDSHIP, LOVE, & TRUTH

It takes a bold heart to live your truth. To keep reminding yourself that love is the answer, even on your hard days! We created this eclectic, super cool scarf from an 1880's archival print, and adapted the utterly charming wood-grain lettering to build the trim. The result is one of our favorite pieces in the collection: beautiful and completely unique, with a lot of romance, and a touch of rock and roll.

WILD BEAUTY

Majesty, luxury, and good luck! Peacocks — symbols of strength, confidence, luck, and royalty — have been celebrated for their glorious and colorful plumage throughout history. This remarkable piece features joyful, deliciously rich artwork from the 1600's by Dutch painter, Melchior d’Hondecoeter, and is trimmed with a print we created using a reconstructed French textile fragment from the same era.

TAKE MY HAND

A splendid and wholly original ode to friendship, this lighthearted design has quickly become one of our very favorites! We combined several pieces of art in the tradition of Victorian collage — including a remarkably detailed engraving of clasped hands and sun rays from 1626, a painted heart from a seventeenth-century color chart, and flowers, leaves, and hummingbirds from an 1800's lithograph. The resulting print is joyful and fresh — and unlike anything we’ve made before.

FOLKLORE

Folklore is our fairytale celebration of the Arts & Crafts movement. The printed Bird of Peace comes from an original hand stitched work by fibre artist Kim Donohoe, who used single-ply thread to capture every detail of plumage. The background panels come from unfinished works created in 1885 by artist William Morris, whose original pencil sketch lines can be seen where the designs remain incomplete. We left these in intentionally, to celebrate the profound beauty of the artistic process.

FLIGHT OF FANCY

What we can dream, we can do — against all odds! Hummingbirds are tiny beings of wonder. Weighing less than a nickel, they are the only bird that can fly backwards as well as forwards, with their little wings flapping an incredible 50 (or more!) times per second. They have the largest hearts relative to body size in the entire animal world. Symbols of hope, healing, and luck, hummingbirds are also sometimes said to represent well-wishings from loved ones — both here and departed. A flock of hummingbirds is called a glitter or a shimmer — or a bouquet! The bouquet in our exuberant print was created using a collage of breathtakingly beautiful floral paintings from the 1700’s.

LET THE LIGHT IN

Inspired by poet Leonard Cohen’s famous quote “There is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in”, this design celebrates the ways our experiences shape us, and the perfect beauty of imperfection. Created using several pieces of Delft tile from the 1700’s — including two elaborate Italianate landscape scenes — we chose to leave in the cracks and slight imperfections from the original ceramic in our final print.
