The Story: The Simbi Makaya Scarf – Messenger of the Hidden Waters by Sandilou
Dive into the vibrant mysteries of Haiti with this exclusive 16" x 72" scarf, a wearable masterpiece designed by Sandra Russo.
At the heart of this blazing creation, the radiant face of Simbi Makaya emerges from a sea of deep reds and fiery oranges. An enigmatic and powerful figure in the Vodou pantheon, Simbi is the master of fresh waters, the guardian of springs, and the great messenger who navigates between the visible and invisible worlds.
In this artwork, the spirit is depicted with a serpentine body whose saw-tooth scales echo the undulating flow of water and the raw energy of magic. His head, adorned with a crown of rays, symbolizes clairvoyance and deep, secret knowledge. Flanking the central figure, the repeating geometric motifs—piercing eyes and pointed triangles—evoke the silent gazes and the profound messages the messenger carries across the rivers.
Woven in a sumptuous blend of 75% cotton and 25% silk, this scarf embodies Simbi’s very duality: cotton for his earthly grounding and raw strength, silk for his fluidity, elegance, and divine nature. Lightweight, durable, and incredibly soft, it drapes around you like the protective waters of the lakou.
More than just an accessory, wear a fragment of history, mythology, and Haitian magic.
