KAREN MABON

Karen Mabon ( formerly Red Brick Scarves ) presents a beguiling collection of silk scarves and jewellery laced with the unexpected.

Karen weaves whimsical and surprising narratives throughout her work. A landscape populated with a distinctive array of hand-drawn characters and contexts presents a playful palette of designs to explore and enjoy: From a fast-paced stock market setting, to the quintessential British garden complete with wasps, a laboratory to a sweet shop.

Combining her skill and expertise as an artist and designer with her passion for materials and accessories, Karen has blurred the boundaries between art and fashion. Essentially creating wearable pieces of art, Karen revels in producing work that is accessible, individual and fun. These scarves and jewellery designs instantly add a unique and compelling accent to any outfit, inviting you to continue and define the narrative in your own style.

Growing up in Black Isle, Scotland, Karen Mabon was inspired by the popular references she imbibed when spending many rain-drenched school holidays immersed in books, films and television.

After studying at Edinburgh College of Art, Karen attended the prestigious Royal College of Art in London. She went on to work with many top names including Margaret Howell and set-designer Fred Butler. Establishing her eponymous label in 2012, her work received instant recognition with a raft of stockists around the world, coverage in titles such as Vogue and Grazia, and Karen regularly receives commissions from the likes of Anthropologie and Henley Royal Regatta.
