This unique [glow-in-the-dark scarf](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ricola-capsule) designed by Hannah Waldron offers wearers an exciting visual experience, as the item shifts to be reminiscent of the [glowing Tokyo skyline](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neon-tokyo) when the lights are turned off.

Throughout the day, the scarf features a beautiful and slightly cartoonish rendering of the city in a bold blue, white and orange color palette. In the dark, only certain parts of the design will remain visible, effectively 'lighting up' the city. The scarf was constructed using [glow-in-the-dark paint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/glowyld-collection), which can absorb light throughout the day, resulting in the gorgeous effect.

This style of scarf was designed to serve a variety of purposes, including wrapping packages or being used as a picnic blanket in addition to being a fashionable scarf.
