Lovarzi Expands Range With Eleventh and Fourth Doctor Scarves

Four new Doctor Who products will be available nationwide from Lovarzi in the next fortnight – including the company’s first foray into NuWho (2005- present)!

Set up in 2007, Lovarzi has been working with the BBC since 2012 to give fans screen-accurate items, perfect for cosplayers. That started with their multi-coloured Fourth Doctor Scarf, and has since expanded to include the Fifth Doctor Sweater, TARDIS umbrellas, and Dalek Scarf. These upcoming products celebrate some of the most iconic imagery from the show.

The Pandorica Opens Scarf is digitally-printed 100% silk, and is based on the painting by Vincent van Gogh in the 2010 finale. Complete with a presentation box (adorned with foil-printed Doctor Who and BBC logos), this is the first time Lovarzi has specifically celebrated the much-loved Matt Smith era of the show: the picture is bright, bold, and hugely recognisable. (Personally, I love the picture and will definitely be picking up one of these scarves!)

Lovarzi’s original replica of the Fourth Doctor Scarf remains a bestseller, but if you’re worried about tripping over yourself, the company is releasing a shorter version: at 25 x 200cms, it’s perfect for showing off your fan credentials on a daily basis. Just keep some jelly babies with you.

It’s made from soft, warm Acrylic, and just like Lovarzi’s initial Fourth Doctor Scarf, comes in a carry-case.

If you’re looking for something completely different (but still paying tribute to Tom Baker’s incarnation of the Doctor), the exclusively-designed Knitted Tie takes those same colours in that same pattern and makes a unique item that’s perfect for giving a professional but quirky impression, wherever you go.

Also presented in a gift box, foil-printed with the Doctor Who logo, the Fourth Doctor Knitted Tie is made from 50% Wool and 50% Acrylic, so it’s soft and resistant to fading.

Finally, after the success of the Seventh Doctor Jumper and Paisley Silk Scarf, Lovarzi continues to cater for cosplaying fans with the Seventh Doctor Hanky, an intricate digitally-printed design (made of cotton) that comes in a special gift box.

Designed by Ken Trew, the BBC purchased about 20 red hankies to wrap around the Time Lord’s panama hat, and Sylvester McCoy stepped out in his now-iconic costume in Time and the Rani (1987). Fortunately, McCoy rose above this dodgy story to become a much-loved Doctor, who battled Daleks, Cybermen Haemovores, the Gods of Ragnarok, and the Master.

Maninder Singh Sahota, Director of Lovarzi, says:

“The year-long work we put into our Doctor Who products is always worth it when we see the smiles of enthusiastic Whovians at conventions. I’m sure these four new products will be welcomed by fans new and old – and very much look forward to seeing cosplayers and collectors wearing them with pride whenever we’re exhibiting our ever-expanding range. And yes, we’re already planning next year’s releases!”

The Pandorica Opens Scarf (40 x 190cms), Seventh Doctor Hanky (50 x 50cms), Fourth Doctor Shorter Scarf (25 x 200cms), and Fourth Doctor Knitted Tie will all be available to pre-order from early October. You can get them from Lovarzi.co.uk, the BBCShop, and Forbidden Planet. They’ll likely also be stocked alongside further Lovarzi products at the Doctor Who Experience!
