Custom Made Scarves
Sometimes we use clothes to stand out — to separate ourselves from the crowd. And sometimes we use clothes to belong — to show that we are a member of a certain group or community. This is often how we use scarves.
In the morning, you might wear a scarf that reveals your creative, colorful side, and in the evening you might wear a scarf that speaks to your interest in a women’s organization.
In short, scarves communicate. They tell the rest of us who you are. They begin to speak as soon as you enter a room, before you have said a word.
Lindman New York makes sure they say the right thing.
We are able to custom make scarves to fit your personality, event, or institutions. We can make one or 1,000. We have no minimums. We will work with you budget. And we never miss a deadline.
The process begins with a conversation. We will ask a number of questions to find out more about you and what you are looking for. We will ask if you have a logo, favorite colors, and / or a pattern.
Based on this conversation, we will develop a new design— or we can work with an existing one.
Once we have agreed on a design, we will create a sample — and once that has been approved, we move to production.
We offer a wide range of fabrics. Our prices are better than competitive. Which is perhaps why our customers return to us time and time again.
Below are a few of the many scarves we have have created.
The Players
The Players is an old, private, social club in New York City. Created in 1889, it is filled of actors and entertainers.
The club asked us to develop scarves (as well as ties and bow ties) using their logo, which was designed by the celebrated architect Stanford White.
We settled on a long, rectangular, design — 60’ x 20”. The material is of course silk.
Estée Lauder
Estée Lauder was planning a large company event and needed scarves done fast.
Their regular suppliers were not able to promise that they could deliver in time, but Lindman New York could —- and we did deliver on time.
Fresca
We made this scarf for Fresca, a soft drink company owned by Coca Cola. The firm was about the launch a new flavor and planned a number of exciting events. For these events, they wanted the wait staff to wear either scarves or bow ties. We created both.
This is a small kite scarf, 100% silk, and hand-made in New York City.
Boston Women’s Memorial
When the Boston Women’s Memorial was getting ready to celebrate their 20th anniversary, the contacted Lindman New York and asked us to design and manufacture a scarf for the event.
For the design, we used the signatures of three of the women that the organization celebrates
Anonymous
Some of our clients prefer to be anonymous, which we of course respect.
Nevertheless, this associations asked us to create a scarf that its members would wear during meetings and conventions —- but they also wanted it to be so beautiful, and of such superior quality, that the members would wear it outside of organization events.
Logo scarves, like logo ties, have a reputation to be boring and uninspiring. This scarf is an exception. Because of the design and quality, the members were more than happy to wear this scarf outside the realm of the organization.
Olana
We created this scarf for Olana, the magnificent home of Frederic Church, one of America’s first great artists. Church was a traveler and collector, and his home is filled of treasures from around the world.
Church was much inspired by the color and patterns that he encountered during his travels. And when he built his house, he incorporated many of these patterns and colors.
The inspiration for the design of this scarf comes from the windows in the main hall of his house.
The scarf can be purchased at the Olana Museum Store.
This scarf is 36” x 36”, 100% silk.
