A little (long) note from Hathaway founder Sera Hathaway

At Hathaway Scarves, each piece is more than an accessory — it’s a fabulous feeling.

Born from a dream to create something that could instantly uplift someone’s style and spirit, Hathaway Scarves was never just about ‘fashion. I wanted to wrap people in beauty, emotion, and connection. Something that feels like an uplifting, stylish hug on a day you need a boost — or that extra slice of fabulous to elevate your outfit.

To bring that dream to life, I turned to the most heartfelt inspiration I know — my mum’s artwork. ( At the beginning I had my older sister, who’s in New Zealand, sneak into Mum’s art room there, while I’m based in London, where Hathaway Scarves is located, to photograph some of her artwork )

Mum paints and draws purely for the joy of it — not to sell, not for recognition, just because she loves it. And I think there’s an extra kind of beauty in that. Mum’s art is also celebration of nature — full of intricate details, vibrant colour, and gentle botanical forms. Bringing those elements into the scarves adds another layer of warmth and meaning.

Our scarves don’t just wrap you in beautiful silk and natural textiles — they wrap you in a subtle connection to the natural world around you.

I would like to think that when you wear a Hathaway scarf, you’re not just wearing a beautiful accessory — you’re wearing a story. A piece of art. A connection to something heartfelt and personal, created to remind you of how truly special and fabulous you are.

My ultimate joy is lifting others up—reminding people of their beauty, their worth, and the joy they bring to the world. Styling and design have always been my creative outlet for fulfilling this purpose - It now seems only natural that I was led to create scarves—accessories that can be easily thrown on, an instantly uplift, no matter your clothing style.

We chose to work with silk and other beautiful natural textiles because I wanted to bring a little luxury to your wardrobe. Collaborating with artisans is a way to bring my customers beautiful craftsmanship and this is also a way to honour mum's art - - No mass production here—just timeless, limited edition pieces to treasure forever.

These scarves are made to move with you — to be worn, gifted, and treasured. They are for those who believe that style should be personal, joyful, and full of heart! - Sera
