When Madagascar Ambassador Couple Meets Aurora Scarf: Echoes of ‘Indian Ocean Pearl’ in Silk

In front of the map wall of the embassy, Madagascar’s Ambassador to China, Jean Louis Robanson, and his wife received the orange gift box of the Aurora scarf – this bright orange not only echoes the bright temperament of Madagascar’s “Indian Ocean pearl”, but also extends Aurora’s “ambassador cultural bond” to this African island nation.

1、 The Ambassador Couple’s’ Silk Scarf Selection ‘: From Island Style to Silk Craftsmanship

Ambassador Robinson and his wife’s platform for Aurora this time is a vivid footnote to the cooperation between China and Malaysia (Madagascar). As an Indian Ocean partner on the “the Belt and Road”, Madagascar’s vanilla and graphite enter the Chinese market through China Malaysia cooperation, and China’s infrastructure and agricultural technology also help its development; The encounter of this scarf is an extension of the warmth between the two countries, from economy and trade to culture.

What impressed the ambassador couple with the Aurora scarf was its ingenuity in Madagascar culture: the scarf in the gift box was inspired by Madagascar’s “baobab tree” and used 28 color printing technology to restore the unique tropical plant texture of the island nation. The precision of the hand rolled edges impressed the ambassador’s wife, “It’s like weaving our hometown rainforest into Chinese silk

2、 The ‘Island Seal’ in the Orange Gift Box

In Aurora’s “African themed scarf library”, Madagascar elements are unique tropical symbols: with the “lemur pattern” paired with the silhouette of a baobab tree, it retains the agility of island creatures while maintaining the smoothness of silk. The silk scarf that the Lobangsong couple received later appeared in the cultural promotion activities of the Madagascar embassy, becoming a “light carrier” for Sino Malaysian people to people exchanges.

And this kind of “cultural customization” is precisely the core of Aurora’s appeal to more than 130 ambassadors – each scarf is a “wearable national business card”, allowing different civilizations to resonate through fabrics as a medium.

3、 The Sino Malaysian New Connection woven with silk thread

The journey of this scarf from the workshop in Hangzhou to Antananarivo in Madagascar is a microcosm of the “soft cooperation” between China and Malaysia. Ambassador Robinson once said, ‘Madagascar needs to show the world our nature and culture,’ and the Aurora scarf is such a ‘cultural window’ – it is as light as a feather, yet carries the charm of an Indian Ocean island nation and the ingenuity of the East.

Perhaps soon, in tourist shops in Madagascar, there will be cultural and creative works combining Chinese silk with island fabrics; At the Silk Fair in China, this “baobab tree scarf” will become one of the exhibits showcasing the fusion of tropical cultures between China and Africa – as the silk thread crosses the Indian Ocean, the connection of civilizations takes on a softer form.
