“Mum’s artistic creations bring a certain sense of wonder into the world, capturing a unique essence of plant life - To share it with you and let others feel uplifted by her work is such a pleasure ” Sera
HATHAWAY, ‘a mother daughter project’, is a beautiful story of a creative collaboration between a mother and her two daughters.
Lyn Hathaway is a botanical artist, expert in combining traditional and scientifically accurate botanical art techniques with contemporary compositional ideas. She draws inspiration from the plant world, delighting in portraying its infinite details.
With a vision to create unique and artisan pieces made from natural and innovative plant-based textiles, Lyn’s two daughters - Sera, a London based designer and Louise a plant biologist and fellow creative - collaborated and with their mother’s art launched HATHAWAY.
“We create pieces which not only beautifully showcase our mothers artwork but create pieces made to the highest standards so they can treasured for years to come - Mum’s artistic creations bring a certain sense of wonder into the world, capturing a unique essence of plant life - to share it with you and let others feel uplifted by her work is such a pleasure ” Sera
Handmade in either England or Como, Italy each piece is created in very limited-runs, made of the finest natural fabrics including organic silks and silk wool blends. Sera is soon to launch a innovative plant-based scarf collection which includes scarves made from bamboo, organic cottons and SeaCell ( a fabric made from seaweed )
After many factory visits and fabric sampling we now work with some of the worlds leading fabric artisans to bring you sustainably made, limited edition collections to inspire and uplift.
We strive to support those around us, which is why we only work with smaller family-run businesses and individual artisans to produce our creations. We hand select and test print all of the fabrics to ensure quality and sustainability.
HATHAWAY scarves make very special gifts as you are gifting fine art, and wrapping yourself or a loved one in beautiful every-lasting flowers.
