‘We are inspired by African fauna and flora and our scarf collection is a celebration of life and colour. Our designs include the rare and elusive King Cheetah which finds solace in its companion, just as we seek to connect through our art.’
First observed in Ardmore founder, Fee Halsted’s, birthplace – Zimbabwe, in 1926, two King Cheetahs are illustrated on each scarf design. Set in a beautifully detailed scene of indigenous aloes and Impala lilies, the two cats show companionship through their entwined tails.
