Marc Andersen is a brand new accessory label from Berlin with a beautiful collection of graphic print scarves made of modal and silk. Marc Andersen is actually an imaginary character that brings together the three personalities behind the label, who are Chiara and Marco, two visual artists, and young fashion designer Marianna. The designs are created here in Berlin in their studio, but the production takes place in Como, Italy, which is a place that is famous for its high quality silk production. You should check out the designs of their Saint Tropez collection after the jump. If you like what you see, the scarves are available online and also at the shops Hecking at Mulackstrasse and The Flag at Alte Schönhauser.
