Jennifer Maravillas's collaboration with The Bold Italic has resulted in this beautiful silk scarf based on her vibrant map of San Francisco. "Jennifer was inspired by "the many colors to be seen around the city: the cold hues of the Pacific, the shades of succulents, wild and overgrown hidden trails, the elusive sunlight, newly painted boats, rainbow salt ponds, bridges, painted Victorians, patterned tiles of taquerias, produce stacked and waiting, the hippies and the hipsters, people watching people watching people, silver rooftops, the blur of bicycles passing, and of course, the gray fog." (The Bold Italic Shop). You can buy the scarf here.
