FROM THE STUDIO
On Late Sunday Afternoon
"Some weeks I’m a maker. Some weeks I’m just a man with thread and intention."
My father died of cancer. I taught myself to sew. I made twelve scarves — kept one, gave eleven to my neighbors on the streets of Venice. That was 2012. I’m still here. I’m still making them. Every scarf that leaves my hands carries that same intention: that something beautiful can come from something hard.

CARE
The Quiet Wash
A ritual, not a chore. Spend a Sunday afternoon, water and time.
-
Soak. Cold water, a spoon of pH-neutral soap, twenty minutes.
-
PRESS. Press, don’t wring. Lift it gently.
-
Dry. Lay flat on a clean towel, out of direct sun.
-
Finish. Steam, never iron. Fold along the grain.
I had never been a fan of scarves larger than a "necktie" size, but this Clear Night Sky Scarf is a new favourite for me. The modal fabric is so very elegant and sumptuous. As always, the knots are meditative little things in my fingers.
Thank you for sweet packaging, prompt shipping, and handwritten notes.
Love the material design packaging and thoughtful note included. I wish I could have seen difference in way the 2 sizes they offer look on the model. I could not tell. I would have chosen the bigger. So smaller is great but I like more material so I ordered my next one in bigger size.
There are certain gifts that arrive in our lives at exactly the right moment, and for me, the **Clear Night Sky Scarf** has been one of them.
As I walk beside my best friend through the heartbreaking journey of terminal cancer, I have found myself searching for comfort, meaning, and small reminders that love exists even in the darkest seasons. When I discovered the Clear Night Sky Scarf, it felt as though it found me rather than the other way around.
The scarf itself is beautiful, with colors that evoke the peace and wonder of a clear night sky. But what makes it truly special is knowing that each scarf already carries a prayer within it. That simple yet profound concept touched my heart deeply. It feels like wrapping yourself in hope, faith, and the loving intentions of others who understand the power of prayer during life's most difficult moments.
In a season filled with uncertainty, grief, and anticipatory loss, this scarf has become more than an accessory. It serves as a tangible reminder that I am not walking this path alone. Every time I wear it, I am reminded to pause, breathe, pray, and cherish the precious moments I still have with my dear friend.
There is something incredibly beautiful about the idea that before the scarf even reaches its new owner, someone has already spoken a prayer over it. That act of kindness and connection feels especially meaningful when accompanying a loved one through such a sacred and difficult transition.
The Clear Night Sky Scarf entered my life at the perfect time, bringing comfort when I needed it most. For anyone navigating grief, supporting a loved one through illness, or simply seeking a meaningful reminder of hope and faith, I cannot recommend it enough.
Sometimes a scarf is just a scarf. Other times, it becomes a quiet source of strength, love, and prayer. This is one of those times.
Hi Jenn, thank you so much for sharing such a heartfelt review. We're truly touched to hear how the Clear Night Sky Scarf has brought comfort and hope during such a difficult time. Your words mean the world to us, and we're grateful to be part of your journey. Wishing you strength and peace.

The color. One of those rare occurrences where the photo color is true to the actual item. The edging gives subtle definition so that it doesn't look like a lump of black cloth around your neck. It looks fantastic in person. The fabric is quite soft and, not surprisingly, drapes super well. The size (signature) allows you a number of ways to wear it.
Simply. It's all that and a bag of chips.
Hi Ted, thank you so much for your lovely review! We're thrilled to hear you love the color and how it looks and feels in person. Enjoy wearing your scarf in many stylish ways!

Very soft beautiful scarf for both warmth and cool weather too
So unbelievably soft. Perfect drape.
This is something really special. A unique, hand made piece of art, but the best part is how soft it is. You never want to take it off.
I purchased three scarves for gifts - 2 with special meanings behind the specific color, etc. One for a sad passing in her family. One for a man. Colors are stunning and the stitching colors on the edges are perfect choices for each color. The drape and comfort of material makes for easy wrapping. Eloquent - each of them. I will gift each one of these proudly. THANKS!
i love it so much i keep buying it again and again
Beautiful scarf! Material is super soft with a lovely edging! I have several scarves and the one I recently purchased is for my adult son!
Made with love and excellent craftsmanship. I love my scarf!
Matthew and Jessika are incredibly lovely and kind. I love my scarf and my beanie. I treated myself for a very special occasion and I will do it again soon.
Wow. I can honestly say I didn’t want to take this scarf off the last few days. These are so soft, comforting and well made. Perfect for the winters here in the southeast. I can also see that these will make a nice sarong in the summer. I am so glad I made this investments… I am worth it. Highly recommend these scarves.
If you are considering a purchase, don’t hesitate. These are the softest, highest quality scarves. I live in scarves and now have 2 of these. I will be back for more! I have sensitive skin and these are like heaven. Love them.
The feel and drape of this is magical. This is my favorite scarf ever.
Loooooove the Clear Night Sky Scarf! It is a perfect weight - light enough for year round wear but also can give an extra layer for some warmth. So soft and the stitching in it is a combo of gold, green, red & blue - not bright, just a pop of color on the otherwise all black scarf.
Would love to but have not recd. I ordered with express(free) shipping and was supposed to be delivered yesterday! Looks like it’s stuck in my hometown of Philly!! Hoping I’ll rec tomorrow? then I can review.
I’ve been eyeing this scarf for a while. I’m so happy I finally ordered it. It’s so much more beautiful and soft than I imagined. I ordered 3 more from Lazy Sunday Afternoon
Beautiful soft scarf. Not too heavy and perfect for layering the year round!
It’s as soft and absolutely wonderful as I thought it might be. Thanks for quality products made with love & care! What a blessing wearing one of your scarves!
My new scarf is so beautiful and soothing around my neck. I had a craniotomy last year at the base of my skull and this scarf provides softness and security around the most vulnerable area of my neck ❤️
Gorgeous! I wear it everyday!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Received my scarf super quick! I wear it every day! Goes with everything. Thank you for such an inspiring company and quality product!
I’ve had their scarves since 21014 and now I can’t stop wearing the sweatshirts, sweatpants and neck scarves/bandanna it’s impossible to have a bad day when you’re rocking LSA
I have been buying these scarves from the start. I got my first one in San Francisco at an art fair. I love the soft light fabric! It's the perfect for all weather and it makes my outfits feel more alive.It can be casual or dressy and can be worn in unlimited ways. It washes nice and holds up great! I love it more than any other scarf I own, and I have a lot!!! I think this is my 5th scarf from you, and I have gotten a couple for gifts as well. Thanks!
This is my 3rd Late Sunday Afternoon scarf, and i am obsessed! They are soft, cozy and very fashionable at the same time! I can’t wait to order more!
Thank you!
Bought another scarf from Matthew in Chicago last weekend and he surprised us with a BOGO…what a generous man besides being extremely talented and being able to support his small business is a feel good for my wife and I. Happy holidays Matthew.
Great quality and so unique. You will never see anyone with these pieces. Love
The clear night sky is a beautiful scarf. I love the size, fabric and the workmanship. I just love it!
What a lovely, velvety soft and richly black scarf! The size is perfect—not too big, not too small. I shall wear it with many outfits and will enjoy it greatly. Thank you LSA for making such a nice scarf!
