A Story of Pearls & Clouds - The Cintemani Collection
When it comes to the gloriously rich silk artistry of the Ottoman Empire, you will almost inevitably be caught by its spell. Inspired by the beauty of 15th to 17th century Bursa silks and velvets, our Cintemani Collection of scarves and foulards combines contemporary design with tantalising, re-imagined glimpses of powerful symbols from the Ottoman Empire's distant past.
Sustainable Luxury and a Passion for traditional Craftsmanship
All our products are carefully crafted in Como, Italy – the heart of high quality silk manufacturing in Europe for centuries. We stand for fair and slow fashion – fair to you, our staff, our suppliers and the world we all inhabit. That's why we source locally and use sustainable materials.
Captivating Colours & bold Shapes to intensify your Allure
Captivating colours, bold shapes, strong contrasts and a powerful link between ancient traditions and contemporary design - that's the AURORA NIVA aesthetics. A timeless yet tantalising elegance to complete your already compelling look.
A personal creative Process inspired by Art & Culture
As an art historian and inveterate traveller Christine gets her inspiration from immersing herself in the art and culture of the countries and places she visits. Inevitably, at some stage all the inspiration turned into creation. And that's when AURORA NIVA was born.
The Velvet Eden Foulards | 90x90cm
Made out of 100% silk satin, the Velvet Eden Foulards come in a variety of six vibrant colour combinations. Satin is the "Queen of Silks" - soft, shiny and of timeless elegance! The abstract floral design evokes a flair of paradisiac mysticism.
The Khatam Long Scarves | 70x180cm
Made out of 100% habotai silk, the Khatam Long Scarves come in two different colours. Habotai is among the most noble silks. Airy, floating and with an enormous colour receptivity. Just right for the Sultans' heritage that inspired the shapes of these scarves.
The Pearl & Cloud Grand Foulards | 140x140cm
Made out of a rich 100% silk twill, the Pearl & Cloud Grand Foulards come in two contrasty color variants. The bold, large-scale patterns and the ancient emblems they resemble make this design a real hidden gem revealed only to the wearer.
The Tiger & Peacock Grand Stoles | 90x200cm
Made out of a soft and warm cashmere-modal blend, our Tiger & Peacock Grand Stoles come in two rich colours variants. The abstract patterns inspired by Sultans' caftans combined with the huge size of these wraps make them a real eye-catcher.
The Beauty of Imperfection - The Aquarelle Finish
Imperfection is beauty. There are many cultures and art traditions that embrace the sublimity of imperfection. Immaculate beauty often seems so otherworldly, so aloof. While imperfection is the order of nature. Our world's nature.
When creating the Cintemani Collection, we kept this thought well in mind.
Aquarelle-like "stains" give a unique depth to all of our scarf designs. They create a velvety, umbral effect that serves as a reminiscence to the traces of time that we can see on the ancient pieces of the Bursa silks and velvets which inspired the Cintemani Collection.
