Diane's word
This scarf is a vibrant and graphic tribute to the soul of Texas. Kermit Oliver blends natural science, personal mythology, and a celebration of the American land. Texas Fauna and Flora is not just a scarf: it's a miniature fresco, a window onto the landscape and symbols of a vast territory. A rare, precious, and meaningful collector's item.
