About the Item

Katie Larmour Studio is the original vintage scarf pillow maker. Gaining notability for her unique idea and creations back in 2013 - featured in the likes of the Financial Times, and first selling here on 1stdibs in 2016 - our creations are of the absolute top most quality, craftsmanship and finesse. Thank-you for looking. Title: Large Vintage French Cartier Flamingo and Palm Tree Silk Scarf Pink Irish Linen Pillow Description: Large custom made luxury cushion created from an exquisite vintage, pure silk Cartier fashion scarf in a glorious tropical design. The striking colour palette is strong, bight and bold with mid and pale pink grounds showcasing fabulous displays of jewels in vibrant blue, green and red, perhaps a nod to the brand’s iconic jewellery making and emerald, sapphire, ruby, diamond, and gold elements. The centre component appears to emulate an elaborate palm tree formation, with big chunky, dramatic gemstones in the middle. Around the edge is a frame of ornate, bejewelled flamingos in exotic pairs. This piece is absolutely spectacular. As an extra detail of its luxury finish, the silk is covered in a subtle foulard weave repeating across the surface illustrating Cartier’s signature motifs in raised texture, this is especially notable when caught by the light. There is an Art Deco flavour to the overall print, especially the multiple boarders. Considered one of the most luxurious brands in the world, the Parisian empire originated in 1847 with Louis-François Cartier. The fabric was personally hand-picked by Katie at antiques market ‘Marche aux Puces Saint-Ouen’ on the outskirts of Paris. On a sumptuous silk soft to the touch. Backed in new 100% pure Irish linen, the aristocrat of textiles and certified by the Irish Linen Guild, lined in a layer of natural bamboo cloth, filled with new custom-made plush duck feather insert and a concealed zip. The traditional oatmeal color linen is a combination of the unbleached raw colour of the natural flax plant on the weft intertwined with pristine white on the warp, resulting in a beautiful melange effect. Katie is an ambassador The European Confederation of Flax and Hemp (CELC). This bold pillow is without a doubt the ultimate statement piece for an interior. Elegant and glam it conjures sophistication and seductive luxury with an essence of feline style. We have an array of other special Cartier offerings in different prints, patterns and colour ways listed here on 1stdibs as well as a wide and colourful rainbow of complimentary pieces. We have two of these available which is quite special. A contemporary cushion (pillow) constructed with antique elements by using fragments of precious fabric. Handcrafted in Ireland By designer-maker Katie Larmour This cushion is a one-of-a-kind and part of a sustainability project. It has been created from a repurposed, up-cycled, recycled fabric, used with the intentions on promoting a more eco-friendly environment.
