Fez Silk Scarf

$250 NZD
(Last One)

The Walker & Bing Fez collection is an exploration of the cultural impact of their ancestry and heritage and those connections with our lives today. The mark making idea was a natural journey through the stories of the symbol and design motifs across their roots from Māori to Moroccan Jews. They found a wealth of inspiration and parallels between both cultures and worked on a contemporary representation of what they found most authentic for them at present.

The Fez collection brings together elements of weaving as a traditional craft as well as the joint tapestry of their cultural differences and similarities. These artworks encompass art, religion and mythology as they continue exploring the bonds of cultural unity and balance.

Fez, black and white.

Dimensions: 90cm x 90cm

Hand rolled and sewn Silk Crepe De Chine

ABOUT the MAKER

Walker & Bing

Walker & Bing is a New Zealand-based textile studio founded by artists Nikki Walker and Darya Bing. Working from their design studio in Auckland, they bring a fine art approach to the creation of exquisite scarves and sarongs. Each piece begins as a visual exploration — using traditional techniques such as painting, ink, print-making, and drawing — and is then carefully developed into a wearable artwork. With themes drawn from history, nature, and the imagination, every Walker & Bing design is rich in meaning and visual depth. Once finalised, the original artworks are digitised and refined for printing onto luxurious fabrics. The result is a collection of considered, collectible pieces that celebrate both craft and creativity. At Tessuti, we are proud to offer a timeless selection of Walker & Bing textiles that elevate the everyday with their artistic integrity and local provenance.
