"Blue Like Me" has launched a collection of silk shawls featuring original designs by artist Siona Benjamin. Leading the collection is the flagship Pink Night silk shawl, a pure silk piece that turns Benjamin's artwork into an accessory that can be styled for evenings, special occasions, travel, or everyday wear.

Quality and responsible production are becoming part of the conversation around fashion purchases in the U.S. YouGov consumer data shows that 67% of Americans are willing to pay more for well-made products, while 43% support fair-trade practices. For independent fashion brands, this creates an opportunity to focus on craftsmanship and distinctive design alongside the wider move toward sustainable fashion.
The Pink Night silk shawl is made from pure silk and measures 72 by 22 inches. Its design comes from Benjamin's painting of a changing evening sky, using deep shades of pink to capture the horizon as daylight fades. The result brings the original artwork from the canvas to a piece that can become part of an outfit.
Its size and lightweight silk also give Pink Night several styling possibilities. It can be draped over the shoulders for an evening look, wrapped around the neck as a scarf, layered over an outfit, or styled in other ways depending on the occasion. This flexibility makes the shawl suitable for customers who want one accessory to work across different looks.
Pink Night is joined by other "Blue Like Me" shawls featuring Benjamin's exclusive designs, including Blue Night, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Monsoon. Nature and changing seasons appear throughout the designs, with each shawl carrying artwork and a story of its own.
Benjamin holds two MFAs and has received two Fulbright Fellowships for projects exploring Indian Jewish narratives and identity. Her work as an artist also inspired the idea behind "Blue Like Me": taking her paintings beyond the canvas and transforming them into pieces people can wear and use. Today, that idea extends across silk shawls and scarves, clothing, home furnishings, prints, yoga mats, and gift items, each featuring Benjamin's artwork in a form designed for everyday life.
