The Surkana solidarity scarf inspired by Socotra, an island in Yemen, reproduces the landscape, fauna and vegetation of Socotra, as well as the color palette: orange, yellow, fuchsia, white, burgundy and red due to the blood of the draco, the most emblematic tree of the island.
Legend has it that this unique botanical species was born from the blood spilled in the battle between an elephant and a dragon; today we know that its inner resin turns red on contact with air.
Socotra is also called the Garden of Eden; in the ancient Sanskrit language it was called Sukhadhara, meaning "island of happiness".
