110cm x 110cm – Silk Twill – Hand-rolled Hems – Made in England
This stunning and intriguing 100% silk foulard was captured from amongst the world-famous graffiti of Athens. How many layers of messaging are there in this scene? Do the layers still exist? Or have they been obliterated by a new generation of artists?
This snapshot of a humble city wall and drainpipe presents an otherworldly narrative of birth and death beautifully recoloured and framed with the Classical Greek meander ("meandros") pattern.
The Greek Tragedy silk scarf is 110cm x 110cm allowing you to really play with this luxury accessory achieving fantastic drapes. We finish our scarves with great care and a hand-rolled hem. This gives our squares a luxury look and feel and that classic chunky and distinctive edge.
Our scarves come in branded presentation cases so they can be kept in pristine condition.
The Street Art Collection of luxury scarves, pashminas and pocket squares adds rebellious colour to your wardrobe. Painterly layers of graffiti captured from global cityscapes are framed with illustrations of classical architecture. These are the ultimate expression of urban chic. These carefully anonymised snapshots of different artists' mark-making have all disappeared under layers of new paint making these almost archeological records.
We did quite a lot of colour work on the original photograph to pick out that familiar paring of blue and orange. We have a dark navy in the background and the meandros frame is in a brighter cyan.

The General Product Safety Regulation (GSPR) is a critical framework established by the European Union to ensure that products placed on the market are safe for consumers. This regulation mandates that manufacturers and distributors take all necessary measures to prevent risks associated with their products. As a responsible entity, Furious Goose is committed to adhering to these regulations and enhancing the safety and transparency of our offerings.
Under the GSPR, several key rules must be followed:
1. Product Safety: All products must be safe for use and should not pose any risk to consumers. This includes ensuring that products are designed and manufactured to meet safety requirements. Silk, wool and cashmere scarves are not considered risky products but we will be compiling some safety advice regarding fire risk etc.
2. Labeling and Instructions: Clear and accurate labeling is essential. Products must include safety information, usage instructions, and any necessary warnings to inform consumers about potential risks. We will be adding QR codes to relevant pages on our website to our packaging. This will ensure that consumers have access to all necessary details to use our products safely.
3. Traceability: Manufacturers must ensure that their products can be traced throughout the supply chain. This includes maintaining records of product origin and distribution. Our products are all made in the UK but we will will nonetheless be adopting batch numbers on our labels to improve traceability.
Furious Goose is dedicated to ensuring that our products not only meet but exceed safety expectations. By proactively addressing GSPR requirements, we aim to foster consumer trust and contribute to a safer marketplace.
