Age of Reason [1]
Age of Reason is a UK print label with a playful punk twist. It prides itself on making beautiful natural fiber scarves from silk, cashmere and wool, which are available in some of the world's best boutiques. Audacious prints and beautiful fabrics define the work, which is inspired by the collision between designer Ali Mapletoft's African childhood and the streets of London.

Ali marries her own sketchy drawing style with bold color combinations and textures inspired by her travel and personal history. A large dose of quintessentially British humor finishes off Ali's signature style.
Age of Reason, No More Drama. (Digital print, 2014).
'I want Age of Reason to be the antidote to cute kitten and chintzy flowers on scarves,' says Ali. "My passion is to surprise and delight people by creating things that are more thoughtful, bolder, naughtier or more excited than expected. A scarf should never be boring, it should become part of your own style story and be a very special rare thing that can't be found everywhere.'
