STORY: The concept for this scarf was to bring together the unique features, shapes and colours of “The Convent” and seamlessly merge history with art. \nThe Convent was built on a hill to be close to Heaven and dates back to the 1860’s as a residence for the Gold Commissioner. Around 20 years later it was purchased by the Catholic Church to become “The Holy Cross Convent” for nuns and a boarding school for girls until closing in 1973. After falling into disrepair it was purchased in 1988 by local artist Tina Banitska. Tina’s devoted work and love of the property has maintained it as an historical icon and created an inspiring centre for the celebration of art and culture. \n
