(E Early America)

Designer: Françoise De La Perrière

First Released: 1979

Early America pays tribute to the young nation of the United States and its founding father, George Washington. The artistic inspiration stems from American folk art of the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly the traditional craft of paper cutting. At the time, this form of art was often used by wealthy families as an educational activity for young girls.

The original design of this scarf is housed in a museum in Washington, D.C. The designer aimed to depict the domestic life of George and Martha Washington as they moved into the White House, emphasizing that despite their public roles, family remained at the heart of their lives. The scarf conveys warm wishes for happiness rooted in the love and harmony of home.
