Silk scarves: smooth, light and dressy
Silk is the fabric to reach for when you want a scarf to look special. It is lightweight and falls in a smooth, fluid drape, which is why it works so well with a work blazer, a dinner outfit or an occasion dress.
Our silk scarves come in artful prints, from abstract designs and florals to chevron and windowpane patterns. Many are made from 100% pure silk and many measure 52 x 180 cm or 100 x 180 cm.
Choose silk if: you want an elevated look, you like a smooth finish, or you are buying a gift.
