ARTIST STATEMENT
I've loved rabbits since childhood, when one of my sisters kept a warren in hutches behind the house. No matter where I am, I always feel lucky when I see a wild rabbit dart across the road at night, or sit frozen, mid-chew, in the fields beside the road as I pass. Many cultures interpret a dream of rabbits to mean it's time to face one's fears and create a strategy to hunker down or flee in a zig-zag of dashes.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Serithea is brought to you by Melissa Hefferlin and Daud Akhriev.
We met pursuing an education at the historic Russian Academy of Fine Art in Saint Petersburg (the Soviet Union's "Leningrad" at that time) at the end of the Cold War. Melissa hailed from the mountains of Tennessee, Daud from the Caucasus Mountains of Southern Russia. A passion to make art brought us together from disparate parts of the globe, and for thirty years we have been (and continue to be) professional fine artists, dividing our time between Andalusia, Spain and Tennessee, USA. 2016 sent us a hunger to make art wearable.
Lovers of rugs, scarves and textiles of all kinds, Daud's family mourns beloved heirlooms lost in the wars after the breakup of the Soviet Union. Melissa's people include architects, quilters, seamstresses and women who lovingly pass down a pair of foreign earrings, a grandmother's Hermes scarf, a fine pair of brogues.
We, too, want to create heirlooms to be worn against the skin. We hope that your life and the lives of those you love are enriched by Serithea's offerings.
SHIPPING + RETURNS
We want our customers completely content and loyal for life. If you are not satisfied with your Serithea heirloom you may return it in perfect condition for a refund of your purchase price. Our scarves are carefully hand-packed before traveling to you via priority mail with a tracking number.
