The story behind

Based on the Ça Decoiffe ! scarf design

Once upon a time, there was a man called Mr Big-Ears. Passers-by would stare at him with suspicion because a ray of sunshine seemed to follow him wherever he walked in the autumnal gloom of Paris. One day, an inquisitive little girl asked him why he always seemed so happy. The gentleman held out his ear to her and she peered inside. There was a fiesta in full swing! A circus with acrobats, a pianist, a tiger, a cat, a whale and lots of toys were putting on a show for a roaring crowd. This merry medley of music and laughter filled the little girl with wonder for evermore. No one in the street would believe her – except for Baptiste Virot, who promised to design a scarf for her to immortalize this unforgettable memory.
