What Makes It Uncommon

This scarf speaks volumes. Each piece in this literary-inspired collection is wrapped in the words of a beloved author and designed to send a message of friendship, empowerment, or hope. Made from a soft, airy cotton-modal blend, these lightweight scarves are long enough to wrap, drape, or cozy up in, whether you're gifting one or keeping it close to heart. Even the packaging is part of the story: Each scarf comes nestled in a box that looks like a vintage hardcover book, bound in gold marbleized paper with a cloth spine—ready to be opened like a well-loved novel.

  • Choose from 3 scarf styles, each paired with a meaningful literary quote and illustrated with nature-inspired symbols:
    • Red—Friendship: Hummingbirds and zinnias bloom alongside a quote from Jane Austen’s Northanger Abbey: "There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves; it is not my nature."
    • Green—Empowerment: Monarch butterflies and a stately oak tree frame this quote from Louisa May Alcott’s An Old-Fashioned Girl: "The emerging woman…will be strong-minded, strong-hearted, strong-souled, and strong-bodied…strength and beauty must go together."
    • Blue—Support: A flock of bluebirds soars through the sky alongside Emily Dickinson’s hopeful lines: "Hope is the thing with feathers / That perches in the soul / And sings the tune without the words / And never stops at all."
  • Made of a soft, airy cotton-modal blend—ideal for layering in any season.
  • Each scarf is long enough to wear around the neck or draped over shoulders.
  • Packaged in a giftable book box wrapped in marbleized paper with a fabric tape spine.
  • Uncommon Exclusive: Created by our in-house team and only available at Uncommon Goods.
  • Made in India. Designed by Uncommon Goods in Brooklyn.

Very sweet and summery

It's Jane Austen's 250th birthday year, so I thought this would be fun to own. The colors are a bit bright, but it goes with any number of my summer dresses!

My new favorite Uncommon Goods offering!

In opening the "Louisa May Alcott" version of the "Classic Literary Quote Scarves", I immediately fell in love with the presentation of the scarf. Enclosed in a lovely box, that looks like and opens like a book, is a beautifully dyed, lovely green. cotton-blend scarf embellished with quotes from Alcott. This multifunctional treasure is a must have. Perfect for gift giving! I will definitely be ordering more!
