Celebrate Pantone’s Colour of the Year 2025 with Mainie’s Rock Pools Dreaming Scarf

 

Each year, the Pantone Color Institute selects a hue that captures the global zeitgeist—a colour that resonates with the collective mood and inspires design and culture worldwide.

 

For 2025, Pantone has chosen PANTONE 17-1230 Mocha Mousse, a warm, inviting brown imbued with richness and sensorial depth. This sophisticated shade celebrates the simple pleasures of life, from the comfort of a steaming cup of coffee to the indulgent warmth of chocolate.

 

Mainie’s Rock Pools Dreaming Merino Wool Scarf is the perfect accessory to complement this year’s colour, uniting the elegance of Mocha Mousse with the glorious hues of the Australian Outback.

 

A Fusion of Culture and Elegance

 

Mainie’s Rock Pools Dreaming scarf embodies the heritage of Australia’s Aboriginal culture, the world’s oldest continuous living tradition. Crafted from Woolmark-certified Australian Merino wool, this scarf is a celebration of artistry and sustainability.

 

Its luxurious softness and versatile design make it an ideal canvas for Joy Nangala Brown’s captivating painting, “Yumari Jukurrpa” (Rock Pools Dreaming), which tells the ancient story of forbidden love and hidden desert rock pools.

 

The intricate circular patterns in the artwork resonate beautifully with the natural tones of Mocha Mousse, creating a harmonious blend of earthy sophistication and meaningful storytelling.

 

Why Rock Pools Dreaming Complements Mocha Mousse

 

  • Warmth and Comfort: Just as Mocha Mousse exudes a comforting allure, the Rock Pools Dreaming scarf envelops you in the unparalleled softness of Australian Merino wool, providing warmth and elegance
  • Sophistication: Mocha Mousse is celebrated for its inherent sophistication and the scarf’s rich Aboriginal designs amplify this refinement, offering a timeless yet modern aesthetic.
  • Versatility: Whether styled as a wrap on a chilly day or draped over a simple dress, the scarf’s neutral yet vibrant tones make it a perfect match for any outfit inspired by the Color of the Year.

Meet the Artist: Joy Nangala Brown

 

A proud Pintupi woman, Joy Nangala Brown draws inspiration from her ancestral lands in the Tanami Desert. Her work, featured in exhibitions around the globe, preserves the sacred Dreaming stories passed down through generations. The “Yumari Jukurrpa” design is a profound reflection of her cultural heritage, symbolising hidden rock pools that hold layers of meaning tied to love and connection.

 

A Statement of Style and Culture

 

Pair the Rock Pools Dreaming scarf with Mocha Mousse-inspired outfits for a seamless blend of fashion and tradition. Its lightweight, breathable texture ensures year-round wearability, making it a staple for the modern, conscientious wardrobe.

Customer Reviews

Mainie is a brand I proudly wear for so many reasons. I love that each scarf has a story and that I know with each piece funds go back to the woman that designed it. I adore the vibrancy of the colours and the high quality, I have had my scarves for many years now and they are so versatile from wearing them to do presentations or going out for lunch. I stand for empowering women and standing proud in your individuality and Mainie embodies this in every way.

Lesley Clarke

Our Mainie scarves have become an essential wardrobe component both at home and when travelling. They serve to elevate any outfit whilst also celebrating Australian First Nations culture with dignity and sophistication. The silk product is beautiful to wear and the merino wool is unbelievable soft and so warm. Lightweight, easy to pack and always commented on.

Tanya, Emily and Elizabeth

I love the Mainie Scarves, for myself and as the perfect gift. They are investment pieces that will be part of your wardrobe for life. I love travel and one or two scarves are always included in my luggage. They are perfect on the plane and for dressing up outfits. I take a Merino scarf for cooler climates and silk ones everywhere else. However, the very best part is the ethical basis of the brand. I know I support a woman artist from a First Nations community when I purchase something from Mainie. They look good and do good at the same time.
