Maison Bent Big Ackee Print Silk Scarf

Q: What makes the Maison Bent Big Ackee Print Silk Scarf special?
A: Crafted in London from 100% silk satin, this luxury square scarf showcases a striking enlarged, geometric Ackee fruit design inspired by Jamaica’s national dish, Ackee and Saltfish. The print originates from a photo taken by Shanna Bent during a trip to Jamaica, where ackee harvested from her grandfather’s tree, then frozen became the basis for a bold artistic pattern.

Q: What size is the Big Ackee Print Silk Scarf?
A: This scarf measures 66 x 66 cm. Its generous square format allows you to wear it in multiple ways – as a statement headscarf, tied around the neck, or as an elevated accessory on a handbag.

Q: Why is the Ackee fruit significant in this design?
A: The Ackee fruit, also known as achee, ankye, or akee apple, is native to West Africa and holds deep cultural value as the star ingredient of Jamaica’s beloved national dish. Maison Bent celebrates this heritage by reimagining the fruit in a vibrant, contemporary print.
