Hope Scarf I

Mantua’s Hope scarf depicts swallows spiralling against a faint crown pattern. Their flight is borderless as they traverse the earth and this dawning of a new season brings the promise of HOPE. As sure as the swallows will return, another season will come and we will reconnect. Swallows also serve as a reminder of our accountability toward nature and our fellow humans. The Hope Scarf is a delicate yet powerful reminder to keep hope alive, that we may survive and once again thrive.

All proceeds from the sale of the Hope scarf will be donated to the Saartjie Baartman Centre for Women and Children (SBCWC). Established in 1999 as the first one-stop, multi-disciplinary service centre for abused women and children in South Africa. SBCWC provides a service delivery model for the effective management, treatment and prevention of violence against women and children.
