Touched by Fire is a small company based in Christchurch (New Zealand) by Enrica and Simon Ogden. They say:
"Our ambition is to ignite a passion for exquisite forms, fabrics, textures and colours. Our designs come to life from the experience of a place, a mood or a moment. Some begin as an art work, some from the manipulation of patterns on found objects or images. Each has a unique story to tell while breathing away its own beauty and ephemerality.

All our scarves are conceptualised and designed by Simon Ogden in New Zealand. Once the designs are ready, they are sent to Italy. In Lake Como natural fibres are blended and woven into fabrics that hang softly and best react to natural dyes, bringing the nuances of colour and the details of the design to life. At this point, the printed material travels to Bologna. In Bologna a team of committed artisans cuts, washes and finishes each of our scarves by hand before they journey back to New Zealand
We are happy to offer 20% off on our new range to all the members of the Dante Alighieri as a thank for the love and support shown to us over the last three years.
