Sabina Savage’s intricate designs begin with a detailed hand-drawn illustration. Fascinated by animals and the natural world, rich historical, literary, and cultural elements are threaded into the composition of each scarf.

Inspired by ancient Tibetan thangkas, this design features a playful Snow Lion. The emblem of Tibet, representing its snowy mountain ranges, power, strength, fearlessness and joy. The mythical beast is wearing traditional Tibetan armour and headwear, decorated in the national stones of coral and turquoise. A strip of patterned fabric coils around the creature, and an ornate crown crests the design. Beneath the Snow Lion rests a stylized platform representing lotus petals, holding a Tibetan tea set and carved bone prayer beads. The milk from the Snow Lion’s bulbous paws is reputed to contain healing powers. An arc of flames frames the center of the design, a technique often used in ancient Buddhist art to show that something is sacred. The background of this design contains a snowy Tibetan landscape, flaming temples and bone trumpets. The Tibetan script within the design reads ‘tashi delek’, an auspicious greeting meaning ‘Good Luck and Good Health’.
