Mayil means peacock in Tamil (spoken in southern India, one of the oldest surviving classical languages). Like feathers of the peacock, Mayil scarves are a kaleidoscope of colors. 18th century tailors were known to use the peacock feather as a symbol for their fine fabric creations. Wear a Mayil scarf, peacock style - be it the jewel tones of ruby red, emerald green and sapphire blue; the spice colors of turmeric, saffron, cinnamon and clove; the soft shades of jasmine and rose; or the metallic tones of zari and shimmering sequins. I travel to India and pick interesting fabrics from weavers and other creators to design Mayil scarves. Sudha and a few other women, who live in a rural part of south India work on the edges and apply finishing touches to the scarf. When you buy a Mayil scarf, not only you are buying something special for yourself, you are also empowering women to live a financially and socially independent life.

Walking backward, the colors came together in a way I hadn’t expected.

Sometimes stepping back changes everything.

Jeffrey Gibson’s Power Full Because We’re Different reminded me that perspective can transform what we see—not by changing the world, but by changing the way we move through it.

A beautiful moment at MASS MoCA.

Scarf Collection of the Week

Upcycled Kantha Silk Scarves
Some of the most beautiful things are given a second life.

Our Kantha Silk Scarves are created from vintage silk saris that have been lovingly layered and hand-stitched using kantha, a centuries-old embroidery tradition from eastern India. Originally, women would stitch together worn fabrics to make quilts and blankets for their families, turning treasured textiles into something both practical and beautiful.

Each scarf is one of a kind. Rich colors, unexpected patterns, and tiny rows of hand stitching make every piece unique. No two are ever alike.

By choosing an upcycled Kantha scarf, you're not only wearing a work of art—you are helping preserve a traditional craft while giving beautiful textiles a new life.

Open Fridays & Saturdays, 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Hi, I'm MAYIL 1663.

I'm a 16" × 63" silk Versa-Style scarf, and I believe one beautiful scarf should never have just one job.

Wrap me around your neck for timeless elegance. Tie me in your hair on a sunny day. Thread me through your belt loops, knot me onto your favorite handbag, or give your hat a colorful new look. However you wear me, I love adding a little personality wherever I go.

Today I'm dressed in golden yellow with delicate floral blooms, tucked inside my little "churuku pai", ready for my next adventure.

I'm lightweight, easy to wear, and always ready to travel. Slip me into your purse, suitcase, or gift bag—I don't take up much space, but I promise to make a lasting impression.

I'm more than a scarf. I'm your little pop of color, your finishing touch, your travel companion, and sometimes even the perfect gift.

I can't wait to meet you.

One scarf. Many ways. Endless you.
