Celebrate the resilience and grace of Humpback whales with this exquisite square cashmere and silk shawl, a wearable piece of art featuring “Shimmer” – a breathtaking photograph by South African artist Chris Fallows. Inspired by the mesmerising moment when a whale hoists its fluke aloft, water cascading like sugar spilling off a slice of black forest cake, this design captures the hypnotic beauty of the sea life.

Set against a serene palette of lighter blues and soft greys, the design includes playful water splashes and a playful whale tail print that transform into wing-like patterns when the shawl is folded diagonally and draped across the back.

Encircling the central image of the sky is a stunning border of the sea, complete with a tranquil sky and soaring seagulls in the middle, making this shawl a harmonious blend of art, nature, and style.

This thoughtful circular design symbolises the interconnectedness of humans and nature. It also reflects the harmony and unity of our shared ecosystem, reminding us of the responsibility we have to protect and coexist with the natural world.

When folded diagonally, the whale tail transform into a wing-like pattern, creating an enchanting visual on your back. Encircling the central image is a stunning representation of the sea, with a tranquil sky and soaring seagulls completing the design.

Wearable Art collaboration to Promote Conservation

This shawl is a reminder of the plight and recovery of Humpback whales. Once on the brink of extinction — reduced to a mere 5,000 individuals by the late 1960s after decades of industrial whaling — these magnificent creatures now fill the seas with their songs once more, offering a message of hope and renewal.

By blending the realms of fashion and art, this piece invites you to become part of the conservation story and celebrate the triumph of nature’s resilience while making a sophisticated statement. Perfect for any occasion, Wings of the Ocean embodies timeless elegance and a commitment to preserving the wonders of our planet.
