When we were trying to decide on a name for our shop, we knew we wanted something maritime-influenced and connected to Nova Scotia, Canada, where some of Jaclyn's family is from and still lives. Nova Scotia is where we first learned about tartans and clan tartans. (Jaclyn is related to the Shaw clan through her paternal grandmother’s side and it’s impossible to go to Nova Scotia without seeing the provincial tartan somewhere.) When we looked at starting with tartan and plaid scarves for Winter 2014, we thought it would be great to find a shop name to bring all of these things together. The Acacia Valley is near the Port of Digby, Nova Scotia—and that’s where we would arrive by ferry when we visited. Acacia was the perfect name.

We specialize in oversized plaid tartan flannel scarves for winter and linen blend and infinity scarves for year-round wear. We love finding beautiful neutrals and wearable prints that you can pair with almost everything in your wardrobe. Your Acacia scarf can work for the gym, for work and for weekend wear.

We hope you love our scarves as much as we love making them!
