At Love Letters x, we believe beauty lies in the details—and few design elements capture the essence of romantic femininity quite like the scallop edge. This delicate, curved finish has a rich history in fashion and homewares, evoking a sense of grace, elegance, and timeless allure. Today, scallop-edged detailing continues to enchant, especially in our scallop-detailed sleepwear, combining softness, sophistication, and a touch of vintage charm.
With our latest Jaipur Collection, we’ve taken inspiration from the arched doors and stunning architecture of the Pink City. The collection’s scallop detailing reflects the flowing lines of these iconic structures, bringing a unique blend of romance and cultural heritage to our ethically made loungewear.
Let’s explore the history behind the beloved scallop edge and why it remains an enduring symbol of romance in clothing and home décor.
A Brief History of the Scallop Edge
Inspired by the naturally curved lines of the scallop shell, the scallop edge has roots stretching back to ancient Greece and Rome, where it adorned garments, ceramics, and architectural designs. These soft, wave-like forms symbolized beauty and nature and were later embraced by European fashion in the 18th-century Rococo period. Scallop details graced women’s gowns during this time, reflecting a playful, romantic aesthetic.
In the 1920s, the Art Deco movement revived scallop edging in fashion, with designers like Coco Chanel incorporating it into modern silhouettes. Scalloped hemlines became synonymous with the free-spirited women of the time, adding fluidity and charm to their wards.
Scallop Detailing in Homewares
In home décor, the scallop edge has long been used for its decorative charm. From Victorian-era table linens and curtains to mid-century modern ceramics, the scallop edge softened and enhanced everyday household items, bringing elegance into the home.
Its continued popularity throughout the mid-20th century has made scallop detailing a timeless design feature in vintage-inspired homewares, adding a touch of whimsy and refinement.
