Never as in these months have we rediscovered the value of the word "home" and never, as in this long year, has the desire to travel again been satisfied by imagination and suggestion.
Precious accessories, soft and delicate scarves to wear at home but also perfect for a special evening: these are the 'highlights' of Innbamboo®, handcrafted in Italy from bamboo yarn, from the unmistakable Contrasto collection.
And it is precisely these accessories with bright and idyllic colors and shades that are the protagonists of a journey inspired by the dreamlike atmospheres of distant countries, experienced through precious and unmistakable images.
An itinerary that, however, takes place in the warmth of home and made of timeless scarves, garments made with care and attention by an all-Italian excellence.
The journey
The journey begins in Africa with the Bamboo scarf® Sand: sophisticated style and shades that belong to the unspoiled nature and boundless horizons of the plains at the foot of Kilimanjaro. Creatures of the savannah leave indelible footprints on this decoration.
Wonderful felines, brightly colored feathers, fierce animals and lush vegetation: we move into the jungle with the Bamboo Scarf® Himba. From the union of different colors-in shades of ivory, jade and emerald-was born an extravagant and ironic accessory, a scarf designed as if it were a comfortable liana for exploring our cities.
We cross the Mediterranean to the Aegean Sea: the Bamboo scarf® Wave is a tribute to Ancient Greece. A soft blue and white stole that recalls the ripples of the waves crossed by the heroes of the Iliad. An ethereal accessory made of impalpable bamboo yarn with frayed edges that retains all the charm of history to transform into a modern-day Aphrodite.
We board a plane and travel to Peru, to land in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. The Foulard Bamboo® Stain appears to be generated in the salt flats of Maras. Thousands of puddles rise up the hill giving dazzling colors and reflections. The decor, at times alchemical, takes on surreal and magical overtones.
We return to Europe and visit Neukolln, Berlin's underground club district, frequented in its time by David Bowie and Iggy Pop. The Bamboo Scarf® Dusk celebrates urban culture, with 1990s touches mixed with futuristic details. Soft and mysterious, it is an immersion in street art and the allure of punk culture.
We end our journey by imagining leaving Earth and reaching another galaxy aboard a spaceship. The Bamboo Scarf® Drip combines an elegant and classic mood with a texture reminiscent of the cosmos. Constellations, asteroids and comets meet on the soft surface of one of the most beloved accessories.
The most beautiful patterns are here, just a step away: you won't have to make exotic crossings to wear a Bamboo scarf® from the Contrast Line.; they are all waiting for you in our online store.
How do the Bamboo scarf patterns come about? We asked textile designer Barbara Marzella.
