Embrace your inner sea siren with the Sofia the Selkie silk Kaftan. 100% stitched in Stoneybatter, Dublin.

Capturing the enchanting tale of a selkie's love affair on the windswept shores of the West of Ireland, this hand-drawn luxury silk scarf is a wearable masterpiece, blending folklore and artistry. Feel the whispers of the ancient sea as you adorn yourself in the delicate embrace of this unique creation, where silk meets the magic of a timeless love story.

This legend weaves a tale of Thady Rua O'Dowd, a clan chieftain in search of a bride. His fateful encounter with the selkie maiden, Sofia, led to a love that ruled lands and bore seven children. Yet, the call of the sea lingered. A hidden selkie cloak, mistaken for a bag of gold, unlocked Sofia's fishtail. Succumbing to the ocean's allure, she left, turning five children into rocks, carrying two boys into the waves. A poignant saga of love, sacrifice, and the enchanting mysteries of the Irish shores.

As seen in the Irish times and the Irish Independent.
