Maison Bent Ackee Print Silk Scarf

Q: What makes the Maison Bent Ackee Print Silk Scarf unique?
A: This luxury square silk scarf is made in London from 100% silk satin and features an exclusive Ackee fruit print inspired by Jamaica’s national dish - Ackee and Saltfish. It blends cultural heritage with timeless design, making it both stylish and meaningful. The image was photographed by Shanna herself during one of her trips to Jamaica. Her neighbour had delivered a bucket full of ackee freshly picked from her Grandad’s tree then frozen to last longer. Mesmorised by the beauty of the frozen fruit, Shanna took a photo and adapted the image for a print design.

Q: What are the dimensions of the scarf?
A: The scarf measures 66 x 66 cm, making it versatile to wear around the neck, as a headscarf, or tied to a handbag for a luxury accessory statement.

Q: What is the cultural significance of the Ackee fruit?
A: The Ackee fruit, also known as ankye, achee, akee apple, or ayee, is native to West Africa and is the key ingredient of Jamaica’s national dish, Ackee and Saltfish. The scarf celebrates this heritage through a bold, artistic print.
