Imprints & Ink is an Irish fashion and illustration brand which celebrates the beauty of Ireland’s native plants through considered design. The Rare Treasures collection shines a light on some of our rarest plant species and highlights the importance of their conservation.

Inspiration: The Kerry Lily is one of Ireland’s most threatened native wildflowers. This delicate white-petalled flower is vulnerable to extinction and is fully protected under the Flora Protection Order, such plants must not be collected or interfered with.

Growing almost exclusively in southern Kerry, it was first discovered growing wild on the hills overlooking Derrynane Abbey in 1848. Kerry provides a unique and wonderful landscape for many of Ireland’s most unusual plants, the mild and wet conditions enable species from much warmer climates to feel at home here. It is estimated that about a quarter of all rare Irish plants are to be found in Kerry.

The Kerry Lily’s little white blossoms can be seen flowering from May to early July. In this design, I have been inspired by the moody colours of Kerry’s rural landscape and the merging of our dull winter evenings into brighter summer days.

Care Instructions: Please take good care of me!

• I am 100% silk and of a delicate nature, take care to avoid snagging when wearing jewellery.

• Cold hand-wash or dry-clean only.

• Cool iron on reverse.

• Do not tumble-dry.

Packaging: All of of our Imprints & Ink products are beautifully packaged and ready for gifting. Each scarf is lovingly wrapped in our signature patterned tissue paper. We hope that this will be saved and reused! Our carefully considered story cards accompany each scarf and detail the inspiration behind the design.

Where possible, we endeavor to use packaging that is as sustainable as possible. We hope that you will reuse our packaging but all of our packaging can also be recycled.
