Gifts for Her: Original Art Scarves & Pillow Covers from Brooklyn
The best gifts are the ones that couldn't have come from anywhere else. Not a candle that a dozen other stores sell. Not a piece of jewelry she already has. Something with a real story behind it — that she'll reach for again and again and remember where it came from.
Teascarf Brooklyn makes art objects that happen to be wearable and homewares. Every piece starts as a handmade tea print by Brooklyn artist Reed Slater — steeped tea bags dried on watercolor paper, forming a naturally abstract image that becomes the design for the finished product. No two prints are exactly alike. Whatever you give, it exists in that form only once.
What to Give, by Budget
We make a few different things, and the range of prices means there's something for most gift-giving moments:
- Art Pillow Covers — $45 — 18" double-sided covers featuring original tea-printed designs. Handcrafted in New York City. A genuinely unique home gift that goes anywhere.
- Small Silk Chiffon Scarves (24") — $69 — Featherlight 100% silk. Easy to wrap, easy to wear, easy to love. The entry point to the collection.
- Small Silk-Wool Scarves (24") — $89 — The same designs in a warm silk-wool blend. Soft, textured, and perfect for fall and winter gifting.
- Oversized Silk Chiffon (52") — $185 — The statement piece. Large enough to wear as a wrap or shawl. This is the one that photographs beautifully and gets remembered.
- Oversized Silk-Wool (52") — $225 — The most substantial piece in the collection. Warm, rich, and built to last seasons.
Why It Works as a Gift
Part of what makes these pieces land as gifts is the story. You're not giving her a silk scarf — you're giving her an original artwork printed on silk, made by hand in Brooklyn. That distinction is easy to explain and genuinely interesting to receive.
The other part is that they're beautiful objects in themselves. The tea-print designs are abstract and organic — they work with almost any wardrobe, any home, any personal style. They don't demand a particular aesthetic to belong in.
